Re: [MN] High Latency, Packet Loss, Slow Speed, Disconnects, Hel As i mentioned in my first post.... Nothing would cohabitate with this DPC3825. If i connected my router to it no matter how i set it up, i tried everything you mentioned and more, nothing would have internet, disconnect my router and plug directly into the DPC3825 and i would have internet again. I even tried putting my main desktop to the DPC3825 and then connected either my router or upstairs WAP to one of the other ports, the second, and i mean literally the second the cable clicked into the back, poof no internet on the main desktop or the rest of the network.
It just wasn't possible, i spent about 6 hours last night trying to make it work.
Now today i can get online if i connect to the wireless in the DPC3825 or plugged into it wired. But it randomly drops out and no internet. I started google searching and i found some mention of people having trouble with them as they got hot. I checked mine, i about dropped it when i grabbed it, it was hot enough to make it uncomfortable to hold. It's standing up on the end feet, on a shelf, nothing on either side of it for a couple feet, its in the clear, plenty of air, but its HOT. So i took a small desk fan and set it next to the DPC3825 and cranked it on high, after about a half hour it was nearly cool to the touch but you could feel the warmth coming out of the other side. Now i am online and getting good speeds, and lower latency, the packet loss has improved too. So it appears they really are prone to heat related failure.
I had Chad check everything, he said all is good and couldn't figure out why i was getting the numbers i was.
So now its been force air cooled for a while and here is the latest test, oh did i mention the speedtest.net website wouldn't load before but now that its cooled off it will? I am not making this up, its the weirdest thing ever.
