Q: Why does my G4 Audio Digital slows on Verizon 4G

Sep 11, 2013 5:50 AMby patrick.dc,The DNS numbers you provided. How are they entered into the optional box? Two have been provided. are they entered as 5678.87654.876, ( with a coma ) between the two? or are the spaced, or should I only enter one of them?
Right now the PC and the G4 Audio Digital are working with the verizon 4G LTE, I had switched the USB 802.IIN Realtech with each other. The PC Gateway brand shows a balloon that the signal strength is excellent. The signal strenth on the G4 of the wireless utility window is at 100 % but has an occasional fluctuation The time is 8:30 AM EST. Sunny with temps going into the 90'0s. This morning at 6:00AM the G4 would not hold a connection so i switched the USB. ( i do not know how that mattered )
The tab on the G4 Network window of the selection bar 1/4 way down the window is TCP/IP
nothing entered on the PPPoE tab, the apple talk tab has no check mark to make apple talk active, the Proxies tab configure proxies is Mannually and at the bottom of this window the Use Passive FTP Mode is checked.

Sep 13, 2013 6:36 AMby patrick.dc,Thanks BD, ..I believe persistence, in being patient with under standing the pathways of the computer, understanding position of the wireless pick up made a difference in having the G4 and the Gatway PC both use the Verizon 4G LTE work. Then I came up with another option, keeping the LTE Jetpack cool.

Sep 13, 2013 6:52 AMby patrick.dc,Right now the signal strength read outs of the two computers are different. The PC reads 98 too 100 % and the G4 signal strength on the Wireless Utilityshows a fluctuation of the bar 75, 92, 83, drops down some and goes up back and forth. Both computers have the same software. No DNS servers have been added yet. Just out of curiosity, how did you find or pick those DNS numbers?

What DNS servers are used with Earthlink/Mindspring ?...
Users who have DSL provisioned by Covad should use these:
207.69.188.186
207.69.188.185
207.69.188.187
The DNS servers for Earthlink (there are many others, I believe... someone else add as needed...) are:
207.217.126.81
207.217.120.83
207.217.77.82
NOTE: To manually Opt Out of the redirecting DNS that Earthlink has shoved down our throats forced upon us then use the IPs here:
»EarthLink DSL FAQ »What are the DNS Opt Out Servers for the Redirecting Earthlink DNS Problem?
207.69.188.172 (East Coast)
207.69.188.171 (West Coast)
If you are on the East Coast use it as your Primary DNS entry and use the West Coast as your Secondary DNS entry. If you are on the West Coast use it as your Primary DNS entry and use East Coast as your Secondary DNS entry. It is best to hard code these into your Router only and let the Router give the DNS to your PCs via normal DHCP instead of manually having to hard code multiple PCs. Most Routers have a settings location to place DNS entries.

The speed will vary depending how close you are to the wifi router & number of walls between you and the wifi router.
Here is a web site that will rate your connection. It will work on your ios device and your Mac. It uses HTML5.

You can try downloading directly from the terminal to see how fast one file downloads.

Sep 19, 2013 11:30 AMby rccharles,Use speedof.me it's easier. You will need a modern web browser.
click on Start Test. I wouldn't worry much about other apps. Just make sure other apps are not making heavy use of the internet, like mail, downloads, etc.
You will see something like. I'm on a 750kbs dsl line.
