Internet speed slower in bridge mode

Thanks, Roadrunnere42 it looks like I  got it here screen shot do I have to reboot to see if my speed goes up ?


Thanks again

breda

I'm not sure but it never hurts to reboot, I personal don't get too hooked up on the  speeds as a lot of the isp server are optimized to give max download speeds when speed test are run, remember you only get what the server your downloading or streaming  from can give.
I test by downloading a operating  OS of say about 1gb usually a linux one, i time from when i started the download till its completed, then do the same but without the Shield.

Now compare the time and i bet these not a great difference

I'm on Virgin media and they just keep upgrading my speeds free of charge first from 2mb then 20mb now 50mb and in reel terms  I have not notice any difference in speed.

just my thoughts.

Hi, Roadrunnere42 thanks for the help I did reboot but still only getting 47.72Mb/s when I do download test with the  shield in line and I get  105.59Mb/s without the Shield I used the same server


Here is the speed with shield

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5595516959


Here is the speed without shield

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5595519762

also here is my system log

system_log_8-30-16.txt

also looking at the logs every time I do speed test I see these errors

Thanks

Hi, @Roadrunnere42  @user8446  just checking to see if you have any recommendation on how I can get faster WAN Speed on my shield looking at the logs I get a lot of these errors  anytime I do speed test

Thanks user8446 I will increase  memcap  is my Snort_Configuration file configured correctly?

Hi, user8446 thanks for the help not getting the memcap error but still can't seem to get over 56 Mbs  here are some errors in the logs

Now, go to /usr/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor and delete all but the three libsf_ssl_preproc*

Reboot. It's always wise to always reboot via the GUI or CLI reboot -f vs pulling the plug.

Hi user8446,

I'm lurking this thread and trying out the various recommendations you're providing. Greatly appreciated! I'm also getting the memcap threshold error in my log.

After implementing this above and reboot, I'm seeing a lot of this error now:

Mon Nov  7 09:16:24 2016 daemon.crit dnsmasq[5764]: illegal repeated keyword at line 13 of /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf
Mon Nov  7 09:16:24 2016 daemon.crit dnsmasq[5764]: FAILED to start up

My dnsmasq.conf looks like this:
# auto-generated config file from /etc/config/dhcp
conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf
dhcp-authoritative
domain-needed
log-queries
localise-queries
read-ethers
bogus-priv
expand-hosts
local-service
domain=lan
server=/lan/
dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dhcp.leases
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.conf.auto
addn-hosts=/tmp/hosts
conf-dir=/tmp/dnsmasq.d
stop-dns-rebind
rebind-localhost-ok
dhcp-broadcast=tag:needs-broadcast

no-dhcp-interface=br-lan

with line 13 the dhcp-leasfile=/tmp/dhcp.leases (or is the first line with # not counted? and its the "resolv-file="?)

The file /tmp/dhcp.leases does exist, but is an empty file of 0 kb. If I manually restart dnsmasq via LUCI interface the log shows the same error for 6 cycles.

Any recommendations? TIA for all your help.

HI, user8446 where do I put this ? sorry getting rusty

thanks for all the help

Jumping in for user8446,

Breda, that is a new snort.conf file. You can find it in /etc/snort on the Shield. i.e. /etc/snort/snort.conf. Rename your existing snort.conf file to something like snort.conf.sav or snort.conf.bak and then copy/paste the text user8446 provided above into a new snort.conf file. I use Notepad++ for generating these types of files. You can use WinSCP to help copy them back and forth from your PC to the Shield. Good luck!
