Issue with internet connection
Issue with internet connection
You're experiencing intermittent connectivity issues where your ping fluctuates wildly, staying high for a moment before dropping back to normal. This behavior often points to unstable network conditions or interference. Review your traceroute and ping logs to identify patterns or spikes in latency. Consider checking router settings, updating firmware, or testing on another device to rule out local hardware problems. If the issue persists, contact your ISP for further diagnostics.
Are you using a wireless connection? It might be interfered with by something similar to a microwave. If you're connected via cable, reach out to your ISP to check for any issues.
I still have the wireless connection, but it's been working fine for several years now—until recently it started behaving strangely.
Check your default gateway (192.168.123.1) to determine if the problem lies with your router, wireless link, ISP, or internet routing. An MTR scan would be more effective than a traceroute here. On Windows, use http://winmtr.net/. On Linux distributions, install MTR via apt and run mtr google.com for a minute (default one cycle per second).
