If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you
to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed
at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP.
This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often specify speed as a
downlink/uplink pair; for example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. For this
example, you would enter "284". Alternatively you can test your
uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com. Note
however that sites such as DSL Reports, because they do not
consider as many network protocol overheads, will generally
note speeds slightly lower than the Measured Uplink Speed or
the ISP rated speed.
By default, the router automatically determines whether the
underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some
other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and
it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network.
If you have an unusual network connection in which you are
actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either
"Static" or "DHCP" in the WAN settings, setting this option to
xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router
will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in
order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other
Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to
be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but
gives much better results.
When Connection Type is set to Auto-detect, the automatically
detected connection type is displayed here.
