Boxes just appeared in lorong behind my place smile.gif

I'm still looking at the price points and shopping for resellers smile.gif

I should expect to get free 24h installation, 100Mbps for RM129, 1 TV package but no more STB, free router + whatever incentives the reseller offers, right? Any charges or surprises I'm missing out on?

I mean your processor and if you have Meltdown and Spectre patches installed. Look at your cpu cores usage during the test and see if one or more cores maxes out. I don’t use Windows so will have to page johnlai for this.

Meltdown and Spectre aside, he is using Asus RT-AC55UHP. rclxub.gif
Didn't there was ASUS beta firmware to enable NAT Acceleration (Cut through forwarding) when VLAN tagging is active?

Aik? Seem like the beta firmware link had been deleted by ASUS? doh.gif

Luckily I got save the beta firmware for AC55UHP.......

I tried installing the firmware and it seems to help and I did not touch any settings. Do let me know if I need to configure anything but managed to get constant 550mbps now, although package is 800mbps.
Also tried checking router cpu core, it hits about 75-80% when I am running the speed test.
*
Oh? Good, seem like your NAT Acceleration is finally working if you can get 550Mbps now.

As for getting 800Mbps.......tell me your windows 10 version (1709, 1803 or 1809?) and CPU model.......as well as your antivirus+firewall.....

Install this, then reboot (mandatory!) and speedtest again.

Good news. Microsoft finally released up-to-date microcode for Broadwell, Haswell, Ivy and Sandy today.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/40...crocode-updates
Scroll down to the table at the bottom to get the 'optimized' microcode.

The table on top isn't the 'optimised' microcode.

are this microcode update also support Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300?

There is no microcode update for Nehalem and Core 2 generation from Intel*.
Thus, no significant performance issue if you still use these two cpus.

There is still software based mitigation penalty even without microcode update.....

Software only = slow a bit
Software + Microcode = nightmare rclxub.gif

Waiting for upcoming windows 10 retpoline.......unfortunately, if you use Skylake CPU, retpoline is kinda.....useless..... sweat.gif

Sounds like an awfully good Windows system. You shouldn't even have to turn off anything or ensure that speedtest is the only thing running to get 800Mbps. I did my speedtests on a much older i7-4850 (2013 MacBook Pro.)

johnlai Any chance that Spectre/Meltdown mitigations will be able to bring an i7-6950x to its knees or will it just power through them?
I have the same experience, all Chromium based browsers (Safari, Chrome, Brave, Opera) are slower for some reason. Gecko, or is it called Quantum now, based ones such as Firefox and Waterfox fare better.

Have you tried the the speedtest app from Windows store? That should remove the browsers from the equation. Try with OVH.net SG. I get the most consistent 800Mbps speedtests with them.

i7-6950x?
Processor Base Frequency 3.00 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency 3.50 GHz

This processor will brute force through those mitigations penalty with its high clock.

The only question, since the cpu is kinda old.........does he have cpu temperature issue? CPU clock throttling caused by user who never clean the fan/heatsink fins or apply new thermal paste?

Then, we got few users who set the wrong clock multiplier (nehalem onwards)......(or FSB for ancient core 2 model)

K, first, check if your I5-6500 has overheating issue when running speedtest via HWMonitor tool.

Second, which win10 version? There are many version...... 1709,1803 or 1809?

After 2 years of moving to new house, my residence finally got unifi coverage. So yesterday I went to TM Point.

Planned to get rm129 package but the rp said after 2 years, the price will be rm159. Last Nov, when I went there, rm99 package (without hyptv) still available but not yesterday.

Finally, I subscribed to unifi basic because the quota already increase to 120gb.

......why not Maxis?
Personally, I think Maxis offer suits you better.

New vulnerability on Intel CPU called SPOILER lol

That SPOILER aside, let enable RETPOLINE for WIN10 1809!
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Wind...ows/ba-p/295618

SSBD + SPECTRE V2 + MELTDOWN + RETPOLINE
CODE
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0x408
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 0x403


SPECTRE V2 + MELTDOWN + RETPOLINE
CODE
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0x400
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 0x400



Get-SpeculationControlSettings
BTIKernelRetpolineEnabled : True
BTIKernelImportOptimizationEnabled : True


EDIT:
Even though Retpoline will not be enabled for Skylake generation onwards = just add those registries, there is "Import optimization" available for Skylake generation onwards too. icon_rolleyes.gif

Unless if Microsoft plans to write "Retpoline Underflow" for Skylake generation onwards........... innocent.gif

EDIT2: Wrong bitwise OR for FeatureSettingsOverrideMask for SSBD. Corrected* It should be 0x403.

Okay Thanks.

If you wanna check the status of mitigation, first, run Powershell with admin right. Then you need to update SpeculationControl to latest version if you had it installed before.

CODE
Install-Module SpeculationControl -Force


Next, need to allow SpeculationControl for execution.

CODE
set-executionpolicy -scope currentuser Bypass


Finally,

CODE
Get-SpeculationControlSettings


After reviewing, everything, limit back the execution policy,

CODE
set-executionpolicy -scope currentuser Restricted

I'm been noticing for few weeks already that during peak hours and weekend UDP traffic is throttled to 20Mbps and torrents are affected also.

When I used my OpenVPN to Singapore and ran a Socks5 over it for torrenting I manage to get full speed of 100Mbps well at least the maximum speed of OpenVPN's TAP Adapter on windows.

So having a 500Mbps line and getting UDP throttled down to 20Mbps is kind of too much don't you guys think?
*
You do realize most router NAT acceleration (NAT Boost, CTF Forwarding etc) only .....accelerate TCP connections?

Which one is easier for router to process? One single UDP connection or 10 000 UDP connections?laugh.gif

Edit:
Can you read chinese? Got a benchmark for you to see;
http://koolshare.cn/thread-46553-1-1.html

You can use google translate........

So, you might wanna disable UDP or...... torrent client µTP?
