I guess from what you say, you play Wolfenstein, what you need is to select DLS / Conection -> Save -> and save it in your CFG / writeconfig [your_config_name]

I don't think the Connection setting in the Main Menu affects anything but your rate... default is 5000; 25000 is ideal for a good connection, but F|A allows up to 45000 on their servers.

 

Just type in your console (~):

 

/seta rate 45000

 

and you're good to go.

@ohurcool But we need to know where, because some servers by default use one specific rate!

rate is locked at 30000 on ET:Hardcore

As ohurcool said and from what I've seen cable modem (or any other type of connection) only remains if you don't touch rate, but as soon as rate changes to a different value connection goes to unselected, which doesn't mean your settings are wrong.

Use /players in console, there you'll see your rate and packet settings.

well when you set from Options your connection to > DSL/CABLE > the game will set your Rate to > 25000

 

if you play on jaymod, it came with features called autorate which will set you rate automatically so when you go back to Options you'll find you rate UNSELECTED which is normal cuz the mods change it for you from original 25000

 

So don't worry if you don't see DSL/CABLE on Options

I have seen in half of your lag post you mention for 30000 rate. Care to explain how it makes you lag?
