Not Good.... 'Path Ping' says that something is seriously wrong with your router, and bad enough to make all the other readings of dropped packets suspect...
If a Reboot/Power Cycle of your Router does not improve the condition, then you will have to contact your ISP and have them send someone out to take a look at the unit...
thanks for the help much appreciated!
Idk if this is just a quick fix but tomorrow morning will be the real test since tonight ill be turning of my router for the time im sleeping. i think the bug/error came about when i stopped turning it off at night. but funny it only effected PWI games and not other games. oh well if i have the same problem tomorrow ill re-do the tests and repost here :P
It'll be fine for a while and then bam, anywhere from 500ms to 2 Second ping times, measured in-game with /netgraph 1
Keep this thread upto date with any problems please, just in case there is a correlation here.
what I can say, is i'm getting lots of lag and SNRs again, and changed to the EU proxy again, and it seems fine. but i haven't had time to try this out for long.
I reserve the right to have a completely different standpoint depending on my mood.
