Re: COMCAST LAGS WAY TOO MUCH said by what the1:
Hmmm, ok i just talked to 2 Comcast analysts and they said to directly connect the modem to your computer, and it works! Pings under 200-400, to be exact about 31 MS! The problem is some of the routers that you use. These are the routers that are currently affected that i used, Linksys BEFSR41 and a D-Link 2.4 GHZ wireless DI-614+. Other routers are most likely are affected. Now there are 2 options you can take, 1. Stay with your pings until comcast somehow fixes it, or 2. Do what i did and use a switch or hub, either one will get you pings of 31 Ms or even lower.
I wrote this earlier and i've noticed that this problem is widely spread, so the solution is to get a hub or switch until comcast fixes this problem, becuase it seems like most good router are affected. | |

Optionally, you can also enable Internet Connection Sharing on Windows XP so that you may hook the modem into that computer and share the connection throughout your home network.
Of course, this offers no routing capabilities at all, just the ability to utilize the connection on other computers for e-mail, web, etc.

It is possible to have latency problems with a router. It should not be a widespread problem, there are just too many users with routers that work fine. Tweaking the router settings may help but requires some knowledge of what they do. The tweaks forum may be able to help.
Latency can be caused by so many different things:
- Slow Servers. Obvious when only some servers have the problem.
- Virus/Trojan on machine. Run antivirus
- Spyware on machine. Run spybot.
- P2P software on machine. Removing the software will not always correct the problem.
- Comcast Router. Run a line quality test and tracert.
- Backbone Router. Run a line quality test and tracert.
- Comcast Node Overload. Run a line quality test and tracert.
- Router of ISP servers. Run a line quality test and tracert. Problem will only exist for some servers.
- Interference on wireless Lan. Run tracert.
- Bad Ethernet cable or connector. Run tracert.
- Modem problem/modem power supply.
- Interference problem with modem, Like fluorescent lights.
- Packet Loss from bad signal levels (specifically low signal to noise.) Check modem signal levels.
- Noise ingress from faulty internal wiring and splitters.
- Interference from TVs/amps on the line.
- Modem design (like the low noise immunity issue affecting Toshiba modems that was posted)
- PC hardware problems, Memory, power supply, heat, etc.
- Background tasks on PC (IM, Anti-virus, firewall, disk utilities.)
- NIC card driver, particularly on the cheap nic cards that push some of the processing of on the cpu.
- NIC duplex setting or RWIN, and other IP driver settings. Usually see data downloaded in bursts instead of a constant stream.
