Signal loss on Ethernet connections
Signal loss on Ethernet connections
Hey there, forum member. I’ve seen similar problems with unstable connections too. Your setup sounds solid, but the intermittent drops are definitely affecting your gaming experience. Have you checked if other devices on the same network are having the same issue? Sometimes a broader network problem can cause these glitches. Also, make sure your router is properly configured and not overloaded. If you’re still using the same Ethernet cable, consider switching to a different one for testing. Let me know what you find next!
I own networking gear. About six months ago, an issue arose with my router.
Is the latest Ethernet cable establishing a straight link from your PC to the router? If it heads to the wall jack initially, the issue might lie anywhere along the connection path. You'll need to redo that termination point. Additionally, execute a continuous ping (ping {your routers IP} /t) in a command prompt window and observe any packet loss or complete interruption.
Just installed a new Ethernet cable that connects straight to the router. I’ve tried various ports on both the new and old router, but it keeps pinging. Here’s what the response shows: 32 bytes, time less than 1ms, TTL 64.
We use a BGW320-505 router from At & T, connecting directly from the PC to the router.
