Re: If you are having speed problems

this might be a hub 3 problem or windows 10, possibly the software taff suggested but I can't use my ethernet cable as it knocks off the internet every couple of mins.

I installed the software and set it as suggested. having not used ethernet before installing the software. However I get limited connection pop up after a few mins then back on again after a few mins and it follows that cycle. I told the software to go back to windows default but still get the same problem.

Wifi is fine so not sure what the problem is.

Neither the hub 3 or the SG TCP Optimizer. There's no plausible reason for either to cause this kind of problem.

Since you haven't used ethernet before, then you have no baseline to compare with.

I would connect the ethernet then reboot the hub. Wait several minutes before trying to access the hub. Ping the hub continuously on 192.168.0.1 and proceed from there.

Re: If you are having speed problems

64bit Linux is free And plenty of software is also free and can be better than paid Windows code. (I do realise it's not for everyone and not all code is really stable or user friendly enough)

Re: If you are having speed problems

be aware that tool is largely useless for a modern windows OS.

Windows 7+ you cannot finetune the TCP window (receive side), you cannot adjust sack's, you cannot adjust large window support etc.
Also in windows 8+ unless you on the enterprise version you cannot toggle delayed ack's now.

So I suspect the improvement is largely by luck.
