Whatever computer is connected to that network (router is Netgear DGN2200) and whatever program sends a http request, servers never get the Accept-Encoding header from me.

For example, if I go here: http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/
I see:

NO, your browser is not requesting compressed content.

This problem makes websites load VERY slow for me, because most servers expect gzip request and not consider exceptions.

I can't understand if it's caused by the router, ISP or something else?

  • What browser, and have you tried any others?

  • Google chrome, firefox, ie. And all in other computers (that connected to my network) too.

  • OK good, I guess you have ruled that out. Have you tried connecting one of the affected computers directly to the cable mode, and then tested? If you get to that point, you will definitely be able to say router or ISP.

  • Mmm directly to the cable mode? is that possible? I think I need a seperate modem (in my case it's inside the router).

  • Not sure what to tell you. Most people I know have a separate cable/DSL modem, and then they have their own router connected to that. I will look at your manual and see if I can find something.

I just found this, and it appears that your modem just may not be compatible with your ISP. Frankly, I did not know that was possible, but check this out:
