I've come to hopefully find a more conclusive solution on what's been causing my issues. Since last week, I've suffered incredible ping spikes/packet loss that has made doing just about anything (be it gaming, researching, talking in voice calls) impossible. This happens simultaneously across...

Hello, I have (I think), a modem/router in my house, it's a box device that has a big cable connected to it (the "internet cable" it comes from the wall), and from the modem/router, there's a rj45 6e cable that connects to my PC and that's my connection. In the past, I entered the configuration...

[Note: Moderator edit to break up one solid paragraph of text.] Im lost. i live with other people and have used there internet for a long time but decided id like to upgrade from there 25mbps overloaded (or so i thought) internet. so i went to Nextlink (they are the only provider where i...

Fing is showing the warning You have Connectivity Problems - Ethernet link speed is not optimal. I am running Windows Ten Pro 64. The Router is a PlusNet Hub 2 . The adaptors in PC are Gigabit Network Connection. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

On the game Mount and Blade II Bannerlord, on a specific mod for the game, I am able to join all servers normally with no issues except one server. This server, I was told, has protection from ddos attacks. Now my problem is that I cannot connect to this server at all, except if I use Mobile...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty techie, but even I can't figure this out... This is my first post on a forum like this, so I thought I'd give it a shot. On wireless OR wired connections, speedtest.net automatically selects my ISPs server since I have their internet. The reason behind this, would be...

My internet has been intermittently cutting off for a month or 2 now. Technicians said it was a couple of different such as a faulty line and stuff. But even after fixing it, there are still issues. I bought a new router/modem and it's still doing it. Now today my internet is completely gone...

Good afternoon all, I've come across a particularly frustrating issue where I am getting ping spikes and/or packet loss while playing LoL. The issue started maybe 2 or 3 months ago, and around that much time ago I received a new modem/router from my ISP. I can't say for sure the issue started...

Little bit of background before we get to the main issue: I have a rather old dlink router (2015), still working fine issue: thought my PPPoE login still works, but there is not internet connection on it. as per the ISP, its a router issue mostly cause its old. They have provided a diff. PPPoE...

I am curious as to if the "security" provided by a VPN paid service only in terms of hiding the IP addresses you visit from your ISP is granted due to multiple people using the same server. For example, if I use VPN (Whatever) running out of a US server, and both my device and the server use the...

I have Centrylink Fiber Internet. 1GIG Speeds for up and down. I can to internet speed test on my devices on wifi and get around 600 up and down. Which is great. Yet my Wired devices get the same down but up is only like 2.8 - 3.5 Up. Crazy slow single digit slow. I have connected the laptops...

Hi guys, I’m in a pickle right now. The internet connection at my place isn’t the best. It keeps on dropping at random, and the speeds are fluctuating. For now, I only have my phone, and laptop connected to the network, but soon I will be having TVs, more phones, another laptop and a desktop...

I used to average around 10-45 Ping max on Valorant, I literally live right next to the servers. I was playing a match one night and outta nowhere I started lagging, When I got off the match I went to the servers lists In Valorant and it showed that my nearest server (Bogota) was at the bottom...

I've called out 7 different tech groups first few were just single people and now there bringing out multiple techs when ever I make a call and this has been happening for about 2 months now. I've switched hardware to a Netgear CM1200 and Netgear Router which is recommended by Sparklight (My...

Hi, Ive been experiencing intermittent internet connection issues for several weeks now. I contacted Telstra support – who apparently ran some tests and said I had a bridge tap issue. They booked a technician to come have a look – and no one showed up. Rescheduled for another time – again, didnt...

The title explains the problem, iPhone 11, internet on it was working fine, then suddenly, when I go to settings to see whats happening, the actual router has the loading icon next to it. However, I can connect to the extender of the router on my phone, I've troubleshooted to the max I believe...

Hello, We're in need of a brand new DSL Router for gaming & one that will be decent with 10+ devices connected to it using wifi. (The gaming device will be done on Lan). Something that won't give you crazy packet loss.. latency.. etc.. we do have a wifi repeater incase the range isn't that far...

About 2 months ago I started experiencing pretty bad packet loss, on and off every few hours. 2-8 hours of stability, 2-8 hours of ~2% packet loss peaking in and out, repeat. About 2-3 weeks ago instant jitter also started becoming an issue, peaking out around 100ms. In the two months since...

I want to port forward for my mc server and security cameras. Even tho my router/modem has the option for it,it doesn't work. . I called my ISP and they said that my modem/router has the option for it,but that it's not supported,and that they don't know if they are gonna update it(i should have...

This is really strange, so hoping the genius-hive here can help! Recently, I've been experiencing frequent connection errors to my Xbox party chats. After exhausting all of the Microsoft & Unifi forums, my best guess is that it's tied to my ISP somehow. Through the Xbox network settings, I see...

I need some assistance. I am working with someone on their home network. The internet will just quit completely. The router wont respond, no dhcp, ping, whole 9 yards. The router is brand new bought Saturday. The cable modem had to be replaced, which started this whole mess. Before changing the...

So, for about the last week or so, I've been having very strange ping spikes that I can't seem to catch. I've tried using pingtest and other speed testing websites, but they all say that everything is fine and that my jitter is around 20MS, ping is like 30MS, no issues. I called up my ISP and...

So recently in the last month my ping has jumped from 0ms to 30ms, no matter what I'm pinging whether it's speedtest.net, google.com or a game I'm playing, and I was quite surprised that it jumped. At least since August 2020 to July 2021 (nearly a year) I averaged 0 ping with occasional 1 day...

Hi, I've noticed that my ping will randomly spike every five minutes for a few hours and then be perfectly fine. I replaced my wifi card with a usb wifi adapter, I'm getting better download, but I'm still having the problem with random high ping spikes. I ran a tracert to google.com, pinged my...

I've been reading for a while about the topic, but I still can't wrap my head around it, so before investing in new hardware I'd like to get some opinions. Scenario I have 2 ISPs I have two DSL modem/routers provided by the ISPs (ZTE ZXHN H267A & TP-Link TD-W9980) Both modems have...

Hello. Nice to meet you! I ask you – Did I make the right choice? Please read and please respond with a simple yes or no answer and if you could explain why you feel I did or did not and what you would have done. Last week, I purchased a new router from Amazon.com. It is the TP-Link A6 V3...

Hey all so im in a new apartment its been a solid month working with the ISP but they have given up or don't care some background info on the setup the building itself is a year old im the first person to rent this unit. the internet is included with rent it's rated at 500Mbps both ways...

Hi, I can't configure DDNS from NO IP to work with my IP address. I think my cable modem's IP is static but it is never shown on websites that show your IP. The IP I see is very different there and it is dynamic. I read on Reddit mixed opinions. Some say DDNS works thtough NAT, others say that...

Hello! today i went on wikipedia and a message appeared telling me "this ip address is used by multiple users" and then another message told me that i got blocked from wikipedia for 8 hours because "vandalism" but the problem is that i have never written anything on wikipedia! Actually that made...

I have a TPLink connected to my router and then to my device. On both my PC and Laptop the tplink ethernet connection is below half the speed in comparison to over WiFi. Does anybody know why this is, and is there a way to get the ethernet speeds to normal?

Hello! I have a weird question. I live in a student home with a router i cannot access to open ports and such. However i have my own router and i was wondering if i could disconnect the main router, put a switch and connect both my router and the main router. I guess this is possible, but will...

Okay, this is a long one. At the moment, my home internet is of the mobile broadband kind (only thing I can get). That is, a portable router that utilises the mobile network (as far as I understand it.) With that established, there is something I want to know. A couple of years ago I had a...

Hello everyone, Since a year or so my latency has started to become increasinly worse. Since a few weeks the latency started to peak to 999+ in games such as COD Warzone, Other games in which I used to have ~11 ping now spike to above 200. What I've done so far: Switched back to Ethernet...

As the title says any time I download from steam (AND ONLY STEAM) my pc wifi starts to degrade and eventually crash. Forcing me to disconnect and reconnect. I was able to download both nvidia drivers, and windows updates without issue (though the windows update came with issues of its own) but...

Hi there, I just upgraded my ISP to a new company with internet connection of 100MB, I used to have 15MB and was using ethernet cable and WiFi and all worked like charm without any drops. Now when I use the ethernet cable with the 100MB there are 2 scenarios: Once I browse the internet or do...

My friends and I are a group of 8, and we play Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Siege together. Out of the 8, 2 of us have the same ISP which is GLOBE, an ISP from the Philippines. Us 2 are the only ones unable to connect to the game which led us to believe that the issue is caused by our ISP. The only...

Been scratching my head over this one for a few days, and the results are inconsistent and frustrating. The ISP visited on Monday and fixed some bad cable splitters, but it did not seem to resolve the issue. I also replaced the modem as a last resort, but this did not seem to help. Every 20-40...

Hello all, My Router is a D Link 600M. I'm on PPPoE connection from my ISP. Marketed speed is 25Mbps. For some unknown reason my WiFi download and browsing speed is faster, But horribly slow when it's through Ethernet. Using Fast.com and Speedtest.com I get 25Mbps over WiFi. But 100kbps...

So I have the dreaded dns server not responding, my connection is hardwired with an Ethernet cable and I’ve troubleshooted literally everything. Reset router, clean install windows , change dns to google public 8.8.8.8, changed all sorts of settings, installed new drivers rolled new drivers...

I think I've set up a bit of a pseudo Double-NAT scenario and I'm really wonder whether my set up is even feasible. First the rationale: My modem is a dual modem/router ISP-provided box. It's placed alone on the farthest corner of my home, offering poor connection if it were to run as the...
