Home Network Packet Loos Issue

by lfseeney . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hello all,

About 6 months ago we started seeing little freezes in online games, all of them.

I have replaced the router with a Gaming Router, replaced the cable modem, and turned off machines, wifi and so forth.

If some one could give me a good starting point to begin again as I must of missed something it would be most helpful.

I can get all models and such, but I have made sure of Firmware updates and such.

It happens from 1/hour to 5/hour the ping goes insane for 10-30 seconds then back down to 85 to 100.

More folks on does not seem to increse it any.

One game monitor for EQ2 shows it as 5-20 lost packets.

To me it looks like a Packet storm, as the event happens then everything tries to talk again, but at this point I am at a loss and need some help.

Network
Please note even with one machine on the rest off we have seen this.

Cable Modem
Gaming Router
3 Machines
1 Switch
2 Machines
Wifi (disabled still happens)
Imac
PS3
Wii
Xbox360

Any help or software to run and what to look for would be great.

THanks
Lee
