Made no difference to my connection, was set to auto negotiation prior to the change.

Full duplex > Half Duplex

Neither gave a better result.

It was set to auto negotiation prior to changing it to full, and then half duplex.

All three settings gave the usual 16-19meg, similar to parriculls results, but then again we have never had issues with our 20meg subbed modem either, and thats on a wireless router.
