Packet loss Options

[Sir Robin (not s...]

Hi, I got notified today by one of the server admins, that I have a constant packet loss of about 30% for the 64 slot limited archer server. I tried to see the problem from my end but couldn't reproduce it.

Here is what I got:

CODE

$ mtr -c 100 -r -n 31.186.251.152

I also tried to google for packet loss problems, but basically all I found was not to use wifi, but it's not an option for me.

Any advise?

Monkey offered me a lot of advice on that matter, haven't really got much time to look into the matter thouroughly, but got it all noted so will do one day.

Anyway if there's anything I've noticed is that you need to make sure that you turn off wi-fi on every other device (like cell phones for example) - usually my cell grants me another 6 PckLoss/minute.

Sorry I can't help you much here. From what Monkey told me I can only say that it's very likely to be your ISP's fault and it might be hard to get them to do anything, as always.

Edit: it is also possible that your connection to the router is faulty. Can't really elaborate on that in other ways than making assumptions.

Edit: it is also possible that your connection to the router is faulty. Can't really elaborate on that in other ways than making assumptions.

1. Make a .bat file and put this inside.

CODE

@echo off

set/p host=host Address:
set logfile=Log_%host%.log

echo Target Host = %host% >%logfile%
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('ping %host% -n 1 ') do (echo %%A>>%logfile% && GOTO Ping)
:Ping
for /f "tokens=* skip=2" %%A in ('ping %host% -n 1 ') do (
    echo %date% %time:~0,2%:%time:~3,2%:%time:~6,2% %%A>>%logfile%
    echo %date% %time:~0,2%:%time:~3,2%:%time:~6,2% %%A
    REM    sleep 1 >NUL
    GOTO Ping)

2. run it, enter your gateway (will be your router aswel) IP. should be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.1.1 or 192.168.178.1 depending on brand/model. Let it run for say ten minutes.
3. hit Ctrl+C then Y
4. open the freshly created log file on your desktop and check if some packets didn't make it

You could also run it whole night long but I would recommend adding a line "timeout 1" just above the last line. So it doesn't alter your CPU and network performance.
