Hey y'all, I figured I'd make a post here to see if anyone has ideas while I wait on Steelseries support since they don't have live support for some reason. I have had my Apex Pro TKL for a good while, and it's been great, but for a few months the software has shown this banner: Anytime I'd...

I did yesterday, yes, no dice.

Got even worse, hoping Discord just fixes it

Yes, that model. My room is a bit strange because it's got slanted ceilings since it's a partial second floor, but if I had to ballpark it I'd say maybe 30x15 feet give or take. I'm not sure how the power's being provided, it's got its own breaker and that's about all I know in that area.

I've had a Daikin minisplit unit in my room for a year or so, and it's been having constant issues keeping up any time it is actually warm outside. It's rated higher than the size of my room, and sometimes it keeps up just fine, but other times it will completely flop. Currently, it's in the 80s...

For the past month or so, any time I am not actively interacting with the Discord app, after a seemingly random amount of time it will freeze. No pings will come through, I get disconnected from any voice chats I'm in, and it only comes back after clicking back into the window. This can be very...

The aforementioned servers before and after the unresponsive one seem to be 100% responsive when the issue in-game isn't happening, but when it does they both drop about 10-20% of my pings.

I've been running ping -t tests to different hops in the chain between me and Google's 8.8.8.8, and it seems that the server at 96.34.84.224 (lag-59.dtr.01hlrgnc.netops.charter.com) is down completely. My router replies 100% of the time when pinged, so it doesn't appear to be the issue. I tested...

I'm doing this right now, I have the first 4 hops pinging, and one of them is only Request timed out messages. The one to my router is working 100%, and the other two hops which are before and after the fully down server are replying as expected about 90-95% of the time without timing out.

I know it is a real problem though, in Overwatch, Apex Legends, and VALORANT I've seen insane packet loss/rubberbanding/ping spikes the last couple of days.

I actually have noticed that there is only packet loss showing up when I try to send packets at .5 second intervals in PingPlotter, but not when I do 1 second intervals. Is there a reason why this would make a difference? Also, this is what it looks like for each example. 1 second to 8.8.8.8...

I tried to plug my PC into the modem directly, but my PC registered it as Unknown Network with no internet. I think this is probably down to the modem not having a built-in router if I had to guess.

Update, I have tried using PingPlotter, which shows packet loss of around 30% after a hundred or so pings to any address on most of the hops. My router's IP as well as localhost both had no packet loss whatsoever. I also tried using ping -t on 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, and my router, and the former 2...

I've been using the same setup for a couple years with the exception of a few upgrades here and there to my CPU and such, and had no issues with packet loss or jitter at all. Starting 2 days ago, my internet suddenly has up to 90% packet loss and up to about 500ms jitter with ping spikes up to...

Update: I unplugged my GPU's power adapter, turned on my PC, and my keyboard's RGB came on again, so I plugged the GPU power back in and it works normally now.
