Do anyone know, why after I installed a 3COM officeconnect 11g router
the upload speed in ICQ is less then a half then it used to be ? (about 5KB)

when someone sends me files, the speed is ok.
What can I do ?

Nothing seems to help...

by "...extreme measures" i meant:

  1. contacting ICQ directly and finding out if they have any information that can help - maybe more ports should be opened? did you try that (opening more ports, contacting ICQ)? BTW, try this: http://www.icq.com/help/view_faq.php?faq_id=4737
  2. try also the forum on ICQ.com - users may know the problem (sorry Yedda)
  3. considering ICQ2GO - the web flash version of ICQ
  4. considering using other ICQ alternatives as Meebo - which allows you to connect thru the web to your ICQ account

good luck

Networking speed issues can be related to many hardware/router/os configurations. Assuming all is ok – try the followings:

Assuming you are referring to file-transfer uploads – after installing a new router/fw, for best performance you should be configured to allow P2P connection.Details can be found here http://www.icq.com/help/view_faq.php?faq_id=4513 and here http://www.icq.com/help/view_faq.php?faq_id=4737Otherwise performance may degrade, as ICQ fallback to alternative methods, which do work but may very well be slower. wifi related speeds are bottlenecks and noticeable only when transferring files within the local network – when using the Internet it usually unnoticeable, because most broadband connections are still slower.
