I've been trying to squeeze a little more speed out of my Dway 6000 modem.  Its been horribly slow for some time now.  Been put thru to Level 3 tech support; waiting to get a call back from them. 
 I downloaded the TCPoptimizer & followed the steps to set it.  It seems to help somewhat.  I've also read others posting about Cablenut settings.  Is that something I need to use along with the other or is that something I could use in place of TCPoptimizer?  Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Hi, usually either one setting will replace the others settings, TCP works better for me

With DirecWay a main problem is latency. try doing a trace route to www.testmy.net and posting the results here. also what are your claimed up and down speeds? maybe we can work together to make a cablenut file that's customized for your connection.

CableNut worked much better for me.. the advantage i found with cablenut is if you know your connection then you can just find the right file and apply the settings. TCP optimizer you have to do it yourself.

I'm not sure I know how to do a trace route to the testmy.net site.  I'm on the DW6000 consumer account.  Right now things are pretty slow.  In the mornings speeds zip along pretty well but afternoons & nites they're pretty bad.  Spent 2 hrs with Level 2 tech the other nite with no help.  Thats when he bumped it up to engineer level; supposed to hear from them by sometime tomorrow.  We'll see.   Neutral

How do you find your connection to put the cablenut file in?  I'd be willing to try it over TCPoptimizer if I knew how to go about it on the DW6000.

doing a traceroute is fairly simple. open a command prompt by clicking start, run, then type cmd when it opens type tracert www.testmy.net

Yikes,

That is not good, but maybe it's because of Dway's proxying service. I did find out though that the dway6000 is a 500/120 Kbps service. now based on your current latency Let's try this file:

It could be.  I would bypass it if you can and provide another trace.
