    [SOLVED] Network Store Interface Service taking up more than 35% of CPU.

    [SOLVED] How to lower my ping?

    Step 1: Establish where the latency is... Between you and the router.. or the internet, or some game server specifically. Run a traceroute either to the game server or a website such as google. Run futher pings on the hops you see to determine where the high latency is.

    [SOLVED] Cat6 Ethernet Cable, Lan Port Keep Disconnecting Every 5 Second

    Speed and duplex is independant on each physical link, so if the problem is still occuring.. where is it occuring when you connect the switch? between the AP and the switch? or between the Switch and the Modem. I would go with a new cable in the first instance. If that fails try conencting the...

    [SOLVED] Are there any free Wi-Fi or MAC Address Filtering software?

    No offence, But Its shocking any company would not support a minor upgrade of this solution. You cant have business grade functionality on a basic old home router. Upgrading to a router that supports an internal / guest wifi, or installing a radius server is the way forward (it doesnt have to...

    Random Packet Loss When Gaming

    I would suggest running a continual ping... and when this occurs check the ping window to see if your connection itself went bad. ping -t -l 1000 65.50.74.1 If your router shows any error stats anywhere this may be useful.

    Looking for Router recommendation.

    Hi, In a congested environment any router that can run simultaneous dual band i.e 2.4 & 5 gigahertz will be an anvantage as it will give you more options. Other than that your needs are fairly standard and just about anythign will do. The only caution i would advise is if you intended to use...

    High Ping issues

    Hmmmm Sounds interesting, is there any dialogue within your routers settings, where you can see error statistics for the modem on the line? Voice and games, or any kind of real time traffic tends to be UDP, as opposed to TCP, TCp can cope with a certain amount of errors on the line by...

    Can't get my download speed over 518 kbps

    Download speeds are not really relevant to gaming as the amount of data sent is very small, however the speed of the connection will impact the minimum latency you can achieve. as a rough guite 1mbit = 100ms 10mbit=50ms 100mbit = 10ms... depending where the server is. If your latency is high...

    Why do I have lag spikes constantly, when I have 50 Mbps+ ?

    Which bit? For the traceroute... search for cmd > open it > "tracert www.bbc.co.uk" or replace the www.bbc.co.uk with a known counterstrike server. Your routers ip will be the first hop.. and will likely look like 192.168.0.X or something like this. You want this one.. and . the one after...

    Internet cutting out on an interval

    The short answer is dont worry about it. IP Version 6 is not generally used at all in a home environment, everything still uses IPV4. However lots of things have IPV6 enabled for compatibility and future proofing sake. including windows.. Sometimes the implementation can cause issues despite...

    Can't get my download speed over 518 kbps

    as failboat is suggesting. you might be getting your units mixed up. Your internet connection will be 4 Megabits = 4000 kilobits per second. 8 bits = 1 byte. therefore divide the speed of your connection by 8 to get a megabyte/kilobyte per secont value. In this case 0.5MB/s or 500kBps.. the...

    a strange ethernet issue

    Hi, So just to be clear, are you saying that you are connecting to a cable modem with an Ethernet cable, the laptop works but the PC does not? Assuming the settings are the same on both devices for DHCP etc.. It may be that your PC does not support Automatic MDI/MDI-X detection. Strictly...

    Why do I have lag spikes constantly, when I have 50 Mbps+ ?

    I would suggest the following. Note the IP address of your router, the next hop after your router, and a distant endpoint such as a CS server. (all of these can be gained by running traceroute. If you are using wifi (not recommended) note the management IP of your extender also. open several...

    3 Routers Set up

    More info and model of routers needed. As stated above the point of a router is to provide a connection to the internet for the whole house. Trying to run multiple full routers would be crazy. It will be possible to run the routers as access points or even extenders depending on makes and...
