WRT54G v6 packet loss, plz help!

I have a WRT54G V6 router with 1.01.1 latest firmware. I've noticed that after about 2 days of use, the router starts dropping massive packets. it's on a cable modem feed. What i normally do afterwards, is reset the router (unplug the power cable, plug it back in) and all is well, no more packet loss. I'm not sure what causes this or if the router itself is defective. This is the 3rd time this happened to me and not sure what to do.
Packets: Sent = 1210, Received = 258, Lost = 952 (78% loss)
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 16ms, Maximum = 338ms, Average = 5ms
The above is what i got before rebooting the router.
After rebooting:
Packets: Sent = 162, Received = 162, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
pproximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 16ms, Maximum = 176ms, Average = 22ms
Took it offline for 15 seconds, plugged it back in and now it's all good. Zero packet loss.
I've also disabled it's wireless capabilities, since I do not use/need wireless, but dont' think this matters.

Hi…….
     Well in this case first reset the router by holding and pressing the reset on the back panel for 30seconds. Then reconfigure the router again.
      And as you are not using the wireless connection you may disable the wireless connection for the router. Also what you can do is log into the setup page of the router with http:// 192.168.1.1 username leave blank and the password is admin. And on the setup screen lower the MTU to 1396 and then power cycle the whole network. [unplug and reconnect them back in a proper order ]

  • Help- WDS with Extreme-N & 2x Airport Express with ~ 40% packet loss

    So this problem is driving me crazy. I recently moved into a house that has enough metal in the walls (don't ask) to prevent me from using a single base station so I expanded my network as a WDS utilizing an Airport Extreme (mixed NGB mode) and two Airport Express (one as a relay and one as remote). The configuration appears to work normally some times but other times (especially evenings) I get a very high rate of dropped packets between the client notes (which are connected through the WDS-enabled Expresses) and the base station (using a simple ping 10.0.1.1 to check connectivity to the APBS-N). The problem manifests itself from a users' perspective as very long DNS lookups which causes slow page loads in a browser but it's very reproducible via ping.
    So far I've tried changing the channels on the network but I haven't seen a huge payoff there. iStumbler reports no additional networks on channel 2 which I'm using, there are some on channel 1, 5, and 13. I've also tried channels 7 and 11. We have no microwave in the house and our cordless phone (5.8ghz) never interrupted with our simpler Express-based network at our old house, n/m the fact that the phone is never in use when we have this problem.
    I don't seem to see the problem when I'm local to (in the same room as) the AEBS; it really seems to happen only when I'm on the WDS-enabled remote and/or relay.
    Other data points that may help are that the AEBS-N drops out of the Airport utility at the same time. Sometimes isn't gone for 30 seconds, other times for > 30 minutes. The other base stations continue to report "Green" in that they are not having any WDS problems. If I disconnect the remote node the relay will correctly reflect a status of yellow, so I know it somewhat works.
    It's an open network (no encryption, open SSID) so it's unlikely that there's an issue there.
    Clients include an Apple TV, iBook G4, MacBook, Tivo Series 3, Intel Mini and Dell Latitude D810. Because of the diversity of clients I don't think it's a driver or NIC adapter issue on any of the clients.
    Does anyone have any experience working in a similar environment? Suggestions on troubleshooting packet loss (or other performance issues) in a WDS network?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello errorsupply. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the main base station, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you have the relay and remote base stations.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPorts. If less, either try to locate/eliminate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating the relay and/or remote base station until they are within a 20dB SNR range of the main (and for the remote, of the relay).

  • Help resolving 20-30% packet loss to many sites inc. google and youtube

    I've been having issues with pages stop loading, youtube and netflix are not watchable. Netflix will buffer freeze and stop responding. Youtube will load for several seconds then stop buffering. If I refresh the page it will buffer a bit more then stop. Usually to watch a video all the way through you will have to refresh the page 4-5 times per minute of video buffered. Reading forums is also tedious as you have to constantly hit refresh to get pages to finish loading. I’ve been through the standard modem and router reboots, nothing as made a difference.

    Speed tests usually report the line around 2MBit. If I connect to the VPN where I work, I do not get packet loss. The fact that the same pings through my VPN do not have the issue leads me to believe its some type of routing issue upstream from my DSLs CO.
    Also is there any way I can open an online support ticket that is assigned to a Verizon resource with some chain of accountability. I'm frustrated listening to 10 minutes of automated prompts telling me to reboot the modems to get to a resource that did not understand what I meant by packet loss, then somehow disconnected to start the whole process over again.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    #1 Please post the Transceiver Status from your modem.
    #2 If you don't know how to get that info:
    a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
    b) If you have a seperate router: What is the brand and model of it?
    #3 Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) will contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.

  • Packet Loss?? Need help!

    Over the past week I've been getting massive problems when gaming online with iRacing. I get halfway through a race and then I get kicked due to packet loss. 
    I did some ping tests and sure enough im losing between 2-5% of the total packets that were sent. This has made online gaming nearly impossible. 
    Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated

    Hi Jammydogerman,
    Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Is the problem affecting any other part of the connection? Can you run a speed test at www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results? Can you also run a tracert and post the results of that as well? That will give us an idea of what’s going on.
    Cheers

  • PB G4 to WRT54G Ping Times with Packet Loss!!???

    This morning when I woke up my PB G4, my Airport couldn't find my network. Found out that my father had turned off the modem and router because his Dell, which is wired to the router, had slow connection to the network (10 MB/ps or less, I think). I tried using Internet Connect using the assigned Network name and entering the WPA Personal password with no luck. So I then reset the router, configured to it's original settings and my fathers Dell got a better connection but my PB has gotten slower in connecting to sites and the page loading is considerably slower. Looked at iStumbler and it shows a lower signal and now it's showing noise, where before there was none. I ran a ping test to the router and got this.
    --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
    100 packets transmitted, 98 packets received, 2% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.536/2.495/26.476/3.414 ms
    The router is a WRT54G v5 with the latest firmware that I had just reflashed.

    I reset my router, changed the channel to 11 and disabled the SSID. That setting got a better but still iffy ping time with no noise.
    I tried your suggestion and got this, along with some noise.

    Any other ideas?

    These are the results of a test I ran, but I don't know how to solve the problem. The game is unplayable because of the amount of packet loss. I know it is an issue of connection between the game and my router, so should I get a new router if mine is old?

    The router I would imagine to be okay for the first bit, but for the sake of things, reboot the router and also try giving your ONT a reboot by unplugging it from AC power and then disconnecting the battery. Re-connect it after 30 seconds by connecting the battery and then plugging it back into AC power.
    Also, see if the packet loss takes place during specific times of the day. If your router has a WAN connection over Coax (rather than an Ethernet connection) to your ONT, also consider checking your MoCa speeds based on this FAQ. Poor MoCa speeds can suggest shoddy coaxial causing some issues, too: https://secure.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.2_MOCA#16569

  • Plz Help setting up my Mac g4 with WRT54g. PLEASE!!

    Hey, first let me say that I am brand new to doing anything wireless. Just never had the need for it before and now I am completly lost and havnt a clue what to do or where to go. Here is my situation and what I want to accomplish.
    First I am not trying to go wireless with my Mac. I purchased the router so I could use my internet connection with my XBox360 which is hooked up downstairs from my computer. So basically what Iwant to do is just hardwire my Mac into the router and keep the router right next to my computer. I purchased the Xbox360 Wireless network adaptor and should have all the equipment to get this thing working. The problem is Idont know how to set up the router as no software for the Mac was included and I dont have a wireless card in my Mac or anything like that. I just wanted to plug the internet connection into the router, connect my Mac to port 1 and have the Xbox be the only thing really wireless. Ihope I explkained that good enough.
    I tried just hooking it up and putting the Ethernet cord from my computer in Port 1 but nothing is working. Ieven tried setting up the Xbox360 and it keeps stopping at the DNS section of the setup operation.
    I am clueless where to go from here. I called on the phone and they told me that it doesnt support the Mac but everywhere I look it says that the Mac is supported and even the sales guy said I could use my Mac with this model. I am completly lost and dont know who can help me now. What should have been really simple to setup has now been a total nightmare and a waste of 175 bucks.
    I would be forever endebted to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction. Again all I want is to keep the router by my computer and keep the computer connected with a wire. Its the Xbox that I really purchased this for. Plz help.
    Thank you!!

    Well, for the MAC you will have to manually configure the router. You forgot to mention the name of your ISP. If it’s a cable connection then try this :
    Open IE and type http://192.168.1.1 . You will see the login screen.
    Leave the username blank and type "admin" for the password. You will find the set up screen. Go to " Mac Address Clone" subtab. Enable it and click on "clone". Save the settings and power cycle If it’s a DSL connection , under the " Basic Setup " page, change the internet connection type as PPPoE and enter the username and password provided by the ISP.
    Now, once you have an internet connection on the computer, you can try to use your x-box 360.

  • WRT610N Packet Loss (Again)

    I have been reading through the forums for the past few hours and and have seen others with this problem, but no clear solution.
    I installed my new WRT610N (FW 1.00.18) and I am experiencing packet loss when pinging. When I ping from my laptop to an AT&T DNS Server (4.2.2.2), I get 20-40% packet loss. Also, the average ping time is about 15ms, but on every 5-6th ping, the time jumps to 1600-1900ms (sometimes as high as 3000ms). As an additional test, I also ping the router directly at 192.168.1.1 and I get the same poor results.
    I have verified that the loss is happening between the laptop and the router. When I use the router's built in ping feature, I get good speeds and no packet loss to the same address.
    -I have tried this on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz radios.I disabled each radio to esnure the test.
    -I have tried disabling all security settings on the router (was using WPA2-Personal.
    -I changed the Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 and RTS Threshold to 2304 as other posts suggested.
    -I have tried different channels on each radio. 
    -I went back and reinstalled my WRT54g and had no lag or loss.
    I'm really stuck on what to try next. I also have one other small problem. Whenever I make a change to the router settings through the web interface, and I hit SAVE SETTINGS, my laptop loses the wireless connection and I have to re-select my wireless network.
    Has anyone found a solution to what appears to be a somewhat common problem?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for your help. I tried a hard reset, and then a clean firmware install. The packet loss problem has improved significantly.
    I turned of all security to perform the tests.
    I am still having some problems maintaining a 5GHz connection, but I will try different channels, and going wide, to see if that helps.
    Thanks for your help¡

    Hi Jane, Thanks for the reply. I have now purchased an AEBS(n) to try to overcome this problem. The Apple site says it is compatible with all versions of Airport card so I thought it would solve the problem. My new problem is to be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1087292&tstart=0
    However to answer your questions, The OS is 10.4.10 and I have run every updater I can find for all Macs concerned. hope this helps.

  • WIFI Packet Loss/Jitter MacBook Air 11 & LION OSX 10.7.1

    I started using computers more than 30 years ago when I was 5, I had my first IBM PC at the age of 10 and have never had any interest in paying over the odds for an Apple mac mainly because I saw the Mac as a kind of "Can't open nothing", one mouse buttoned retard of the computer world.
    That is, until now.
    I set up an online business 3 years ago and rented a dedicated server and set the whole business up in a cloud, so to speak. Having done that, all I needed a laptop for was a remote desktop connection and to run a SIP phone (Internet phone).
    My PC based laptops had almost nothing installed on them, and I wasn't using software on the laptop itself, I was using remote desktop, so - why not try a MAC? The new Macbook Air 11 is small, light and made of metal and glass so should be robust enough to travel with me.
    I have to say, this was the worst move I've ever made.
    I opened the new shiny macbook and the first thing I noticed was that the internet seemed hit and miss. Moving around the room I managed to find a spot whereby pages woud load quickly. Strange, my £200 acer laptop was sh.t fast everywhere in the house. No matter, I packed it back away and carried on working on the Windows machine.
    I've come to Newquay this week, and i've started to try and use the Macbook again in a hotel. The wireless signal in the room is low, and speedtest shows about 1 meg down and 3/4 meg up. That may sound bad to you, but remote desktop uses about 5k/sec (modem dial up speed) and the softphone, well, my Asterisk VOIP setup is confugured to use the GSM codec so that's 8k/sec each way + overheads.
    This whole setup was deliberately designed to be "thin" so I can travel with ease and work on bad connections like USB internet sticks.
    Anyhow, the Macbook was unable to hold a stable connection to the remote desktop or SIP phone, even though the speed test showed a whopping 1 meg up and down. What you may not be aware of is that there is more to a connection than the speed, there is the quality as well. How many packets are lost / how much "jitter" is on the line.
    Anyhow, we're not living in the 3rd world, I ran a PINGTEST and it showed a small amount of jitter but told me the line was class B, online games may suffer but voip should be fine.
    I unpacked the Acer, placed it in exactly the same spot as the Apple had sat in and it worked beautifully with 1 bar of wireless signal, all day long. Phone calls were clear.
    So you know now what I'm thinking. I'm sitting here with my £200 acer because I can't use the £1500 macbook air 11. I paid nearly sixteen hundred pounds for this piece of .... and it doesn't ...... work. Time to contact Apple support.
    2nd Mistake!
    Representitive 1: - Told me that I can't compare the Macbook Air to the Acer, the Acer has Google Chrome and everybody knows Google Chrome is the fastest browser. I was told there was nothing more he could do, its probably a bad line at the hotel. When I explained the Acer works fine for voip I was told well, maybe it is getting a better signal. I explained the Acer has the cheapest possible parts inside it and paid 1500 for this macbook, expecting it to have quality parts inside and was told I'd paid for the size, because its so small but its not considered "powerful". Apple do you train your staff? Clearly not.
    Thank god I wasn't paying to talk to this moron.
    Representitive 2: - Had no idea what packet loss or Jitter was, got me to do a speedtest and said that looks fine. Then he got me to remove the WIFI adapter and re add it in the network settings.
    Guess what, nothing changed, its still the same hardware and software.
    Representitive 3: - Still not really understanding "quality" issues with the networking interface, I was asked to install the latest Java client. I did it, only because I wanted to comply with Apples wishes so they'd help me, but they weren't helping and Java has nothing to do with the network adapter, so that was useless advice too.
    Apple seem to have no idea there is a problem, even though Google has pages and pages of people saying the same as me, and their own discussion forums have thousands of people complaining https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664670?start=0&tstart=0
    Finally, late yesterday whilst speaking to d.ck head number 3 at Apple support, we found a forum post talking about a fix, 10.7.1 update. I told d. head number 3 about the update and he suggested I applied it. So I did and everything looked great, for a whole evening.
    This morning, I switched on again and the same thing, slow remote desktop, choppy unusable phone. Remember the phone needs less than 20k for a conversation, thats 0.2 meg. Speedtest again showing a whole meg both ways.
    I called apple support again, this time being a little forceful, and I've asked for this to be escalated, but the bottom line is - they have no fix, they don't aknowledge this as a problem and I was told LION is new, so maybe it's got a bug..
    I told the guy on the phone this is a network driver issue, the intermittency of the problem shows that and the Apple's lack of settings for the network adapter means the unit is autonegotiating with the router and choosing speed and duplex settings on its own. Sometimes it does that correctly, other times not and the connection although fast has a lot of noise / packet loss / corruption.
    I've found a workaround, you put the unit to sleep and wake it up again and it runs fast until the next shutdown. Not really acceptable seeing as I was paying for "the cream of the crop".
    I will definately not be recommending Apple products, and i'll certainly not be replacing the Windows laptops in my business with Apple's toytown system- i'd go out of business if I had to rely on this.
    All there is left now, is to look at Boot camp and see if I can wipe this waste of space linux hack from the unit and install Windows 7.

    I started using computers more than 30 years ago when I was 5, I had my first IBM PC at the age of 10 and have never had any interest in paying over the odds for an Apple mac mainly because I saw the Mac as a kind of "Can't open nothing", one mouse buttoned retard of the computer world.
    That is, until now.
    I set up an online business 3 years ago and rented a dedicated server and set the whole business up in a cloud, so to speak. Having done that, all I needed a laptop for was a remote desktop connection and to run a SIP phone (Internet phone).
    My PC based laptops had almost nothing installed on them, and I wasn't using software on the laptop itself, I was using remote desktop, so - why not try a MAC? The new Macbook Air 11 is small, light and made of metal and glass so should be robust enough to travel with me.
    I have to say, this was the worst move I've ever made.
    I opened the new shiny macbook and the first thing I noticed was that the internet seemed hit and miss. Moving around the room I managed to find a spot whereby pages woud load quickly.

  • Verizon FIOS Intermitte​nt Packet Loss Problem - How to Convince Verizon Support it's NOT ME

    Hi,
    I have been having a problem with Verizon FIOS Internet AND Phone since Thursday afternoon.
    Basically I have intermittent outages several times a day of 15-40 seconds where my download doesn't work, but upload still does. This happens on BOTH my phone and internet. Therefore it's not my router or computer equipment causing the problem.
    Here's what happens:
    - On the internet: I have a periodic download problem where I can receive no data for about 15 - 40 seconds. After that it returns to normal
    - On the phone: If I'm on the phone at the same time then during that period of internet loss I also can not hear anything that the person I am talking to says. However they can hear me just fine (ie. download only problem)
    I have been talking to Verizon technical support and they have blamed my router and ONT. I have tried switching off the router, and using a different one. Also they have replaced the ONT twice.
    * This problem occurs on BOTH the phone and internet at the same time. This clearly suggests the problem is not in my own house.
    In fact I know exactly where the problem lies. I did a traceroute to google below:
    Tracing route to google.com [74.125.113.106]
    over a maximum of 30 hops:

    Trace complete.
    Then I pinged each device for hops 2-4. When the problem occurs the first one in the hop - 74.105.157.1 - runs fine. The second device - 130.81.133.156 - times out, and all other devices further down the chain time out. This clearly suggest that the device:
    130.81.133.156 has major problems.
    I have mentioned this to tech support, but they have no way for me to send them logs. Apparently the support technicians at Verizon can not be trusted with even the most basic of tools like email and the web. They also shield me from the NT (Network technician), who is so special that even the tech support guys are only allowed to text chat with him, not actually talk to him. I have enough logs here to clearly show what the problem is.
    The latest from tech support is that they are sending yet another guy by my house tomorrow to witness this problem firsthand. Then he will call support that will text chat with the NT, and MAYBE they'll start thinking it's not me.
    My main question here is: "How do I get Verizon to believe it really could be a problem in their own network?"
    Here are some threads from last year that explain exactly the same problem I'm having. So it wasn't just me:
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-TV-Technical-Ass​istance/Verizon-FIOS-intermittent-connection-drops​...
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Intermi​ttent-Network-Timeouts/m-p/28138
    One person said Verizon finally fixed it by replacing a PON card. I'm not sure if this is the same problem as that though.
    I am an avid Starcraft player and this is driving me crazy because I am getting dropped from my games all the time. Also phone conversations suck when there's these big lags where I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    I have had Verizon FIOS internet for 3 years now and this is the first problem I've ever had with it. But I'm starting to get majorly frustrated at how long it's taking to resolve the problem.
    Here is a sample of the ping logs I was talking about for different devices all at the same time.

    Any help, thoughts, suggestions, etc would be great appreciated!
    ~David

    I understand your logic, but you have not eliminated 74.105.157.1 as the problem.  It could be allowing packets out, like outside callers hearing you, but not allow them back in. Since you have results pinging out, trying ping back in. Use this packet loss tool.  You do not need to catch it when it's not working because this tool will ping your IP address (and all the hops in between) for up to 7 days. You will easily see when packet loss is occurring.
    If it can successfully ping 74.105.157.1 when the problem occurrs, then 130.81.133.156 is not the issue. This may not help dealing with the personalities at Verizon, but it will help definitively knowing which device is the issue.

  • Bouts of packet loss and complete loss of connection

    Ok forum, I give up! I need your help.
    I have an E1200 and am time out and packet loss issues. The internet connection is fine for 30 seconds to five minuets and then everything times out for 15-20 seconds. Although it’s only a minor incontinence to web browsing, it makes playing games and watching videos a nightmare. “Lost connection to server error.” and the like…
    This is what I have done to remedy the problem.
    I upgraded to a new router, the e1200 I am currently using, from my Tenda 10/100 N. The problems where the same that I am experience currently and the reason I bought it in the firs place.
    When I directly connect to the cable modem, I have no issues and everything is fine.
    I have run a trace route and the second hop, (the router to the modem) is the choke point.
    I have cloned the MAC address
    I have updated the firmware and hard reset
    I have throttled my MTU to automatic, 1500, and 1472. None making any difference.
    I have disabled NAT and all that does is kill my internet connection
    I have disabled all firewalls router and windows, no change.
    I replaced the physical wire from the router to the modem.
    I have disconnected all devices except one computer, and no difference.
    I ran a DNS trace and I have… non routable local internet address 192.168.1.1
    DNS-cac-lb-01.rr.com and DNS-cac-lb-02.rr.com
    I am using windows 7 and my ISP is time Warner so-cal. Help me obiwan, you’re my only hope.

    Sorry friend. I have not had the gaul to load the 1.0 firmware. I am 99% sure I have the 2.0 hardware. I did however unplug my modem for an hour and then try and reconnect. The result was a lossless environment for fifteen to twenty minuets (a long time for me.). But, I am right back still having the same problem. A friend gave me a new netgear router, I am going to try that and I am going to go to Timewarner and have them replace my modem just to make sure there is nothing wrong with the surfboard. I will report back with my findings.

  • Tons of packet loss and Verizon techs say its fine

    As you can see from the below test ran from dslreports.com, I'm having a lot of packet loss issues. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now and tech support has been more of an annoyance than a help upto this point. I've talked to tech support at least 5 times only to be told my line test comes back fine, its normal, reset your modem, delete your cookies, is your pc old, etc. I've even had them vpn itno my system and run pings and they see the packet loss and all the issues I'm having first hand and still  say it isn't a big deal. On more than one occasion I've had my modem data light just flashing and had to reset the modem and they suggest I just buy a new modem. Seriously, is this how bad tech support has gotten?
    I've shown them test after test after test and the all come back pretty much the same... The thing is its been perfect for years and suddenly this and its like tech support wants to sweep it under the rug or something.  I've had it suggested to me the packet loss and high pings when I'm not getting the packet loss is due to my pool being over populated.  Like I'm ow getting ping averages of 250-300 instead of 30-40s, again when its not all timing out.
    I've posted over on the dslreports forums asking about this as well as in the Verizon specific forums to the techs all with 0 replies from anything and was told to come here and see if anyone would be able to help.
    I really not bother with the hassle of switching isps as ive been a loyal Verizon dsl customer for well over 5 years but at this point just knowing how bad tech support is alone might make me want to.
    Can anyone offer any insight on what else to do or help on this possibly?
    Thanks.

    As you can see from the below test ran from dslreports.com, I'm having a lot of packet loss issues. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now and tech support has been more of an annoyance than a help upto this point. I've talked to tech support at least 5 times only to be told my line test comes back fine, its normal, reset your modem, delete your cookies, is your pc old, etc. I've even had them vpn itno my system and run pings and they see the packet loss and all the issues I'm having first hand and still  say it isn't a big deal. On more than one occasion I've had my modem data light just flashing and had to reset the modem and they suggest I just buy a new modem. Seriously, is this how bad tech support has gotten?
    I've shown them test after test after test and the all come back pretty much the same... The thing is its been perfect for years and suddenly this and its like tech support wants to sweep it under the rug or something.  I've had it suggested to me the packet loss and high pings when I'm not getting the packet loss is due to my pool being over populated.  Like I'm ow getting ping averages of 250-300 instead of 30-40s, again when its not all timing out.
    I've posted over on the dslreports forums asking about this as well as in the Verizon specific forums to the techs all with 0 replies from anything and was told to come here and see if anyone would be able to help.
    I really not bother with the hassle of switching isps as ive been a loyal Verizon dsl customer for well over 5 years but at this point just knowing how bad tech support is alone might make me want to.
    Can anyone offer any insight on what else to do or help on this possibly?
    Thanks.

  • Packet Loss When Extending Network?

    Hi there, everyone.
    I just purchased the Airport Extreme AC after upgrading to 802.11AC devices in the home. On its own, the Extreme AC performs flawlessly - consistent connections, max speed my ISP provides, no-lag, no studdering, no packet loss. I was dissapointed with the range of the device at the far ends of my home, so I set up my previous generation Airport Extreme to extend the network.
    It extends the network fine, speeds are about half of what I get at the source, but the issue is that when it is part of the network, I experience packet loss, anywhere from 3% to 8%. I've tested this multiple times, unplugging, testing, replugging, testing. It happens both wirelessly and through ethernet. The issue is no question caused by the previous gen Airport extending the network.
    Any help here would be great!
    Setup:
    - Motorla Surfboard SB6141
    - WAN into Airport Extreme AC
    - Previous generation Airport Extreme to extend the network, no special settings.
    Don't be afraid to use techincal terminology to help me. I can follow and understand the majority of it, as I'm pretty into all of this.

    I'm not aware of anything that has changed in the 802.11ac version of the AirPort base stations that would induce the packet loss that you are seeing with an extended network over using an earlier generation. I am assuming, of course, that you are extending another Apple wireless router ... correct?
    Typically I would recommend that you would review the placement of the extending base station to be sure that it is in the optimal spot to reproduce the signal with the greatest amount of bandwidth possible. (Ref: This AirPort User Tip)

  • Packet loss when pinging from/to a cisco 3560e switch

    I see Packet loss when pinging from/to a cisco 3560e switch. CPU utilization is normal.
    Switches are running with IOS c3560e-universalk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin.
    Packet loss is observed for all the devices irrespective of directly connected or remote devices.
    If i do self pinging, there are no packet loss.
    I don't see any error on interface.
    Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
