Fios Optimizer not saving settings

[beetlejuice2]

I noticed my internet speeds slowed down a bit last few days so I decided to run the optimizer and see if it said my settings were already optimized. I ran it as it said my pc was not optimzed, was successful, shut down the pc, booted it back up and ran it again to see if it said my setttings were already optimzed. It said my settings were not. I again ran it a 2nd time and its still saying my pc is not optimzed. What could the issue be?

I did a speed test and saw no difference. When I was fully succesful awhile back with it things were better. For some reason its no longer saving the settings.

are you running IE in administrator mode?

Right click on IE

Yes I am. I wouldnt even be able to run the optimizer at all if I wasnt.

The optimizer lies a lot.  It says your are not optimized when you are.

so... what is the best way to optimize one's setting??

is it optimizing the local computer or the whole system??

If it works properly for you the fios optimizer works great imo.

Open IE as an administrator and go to the above url. Run it, shut down the pc, and boot it back up. Then go check your speeds at somewhere like speedtest.net and see if its faster. When it works for me I do get higher speeds and to what I am paying for.

There are other optimizers out there such as TCP Optimizer, but I honestly have no idea how to use it since you have to do things manually.
