Line Test |
Hey guys,
So I'm having this issue of a kind of unstable internet connection. I am using Acanac/Distributel's High Speed Cable internet connection in Ontario. 30/1mbps I assume, and I'm using a Docsis 3.0 modem. My router is an Asus W520GU and running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) mini-usb - build 12533 firmware. I am no computer network geek but somehow was able to flash this router to run DD-WRT.
So the issue right now is slow internet connection, but it is spotty. Speedtest and Pingtest doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary, however it is evidently slow on video streaming (ie. Youtube) and Online Gaming. It has been frustrating because of the bad latency, I had to give up playing first/3rd person shooter games as it completely messes up my timing. Right now, I just did some pingtest and all looked ok, but previously I had packet losses to google.com! I'm not really sure what the issue is here, I tried to run some tests provided by DSL Reports but the Line Quality test doesn't work for me as it says that I'm not pingable?? I previously had Rogers Express then upgraded to Extreme (which actually got worse as latency and speed dropped off) and now Acanac.
Also there were several instances where the Wi-Fi doesn't work at all? Router is quite new, less than 5 years for sure.
I get a feeling that I might have to blow up our home network because it was never really configured properly, just PnP. Router has a switch attached to it for extra connectors.
Any advice or additional tests I should do? This is becoming quite frustrating when Youtube is lagging, when it should be the fastest video streaming site.
Please see above for line test I just did with Ookla.
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Regards
