You're missing the point. No matter what else is going on in or outside of your network, Pingplotter can and will give you false packet loss indications. The false indications depend on the mix of router model, upstream modem model and ping interval. I haven't seen any consistency in which...

@Mittenz, Personal opinion, (TLDR discard the rest) you don’t have a packet loss problem. Personal opinion, you do have a Pingplotter problem. Carry on with the following paragraphs. Pingplotter can and will give you false packet loss indications. I’ve seen this with a Hitron 4582 (Intel...

When you indicated a crimping tool, do you mean a 110 punch down tool that has a cutting edge to it? That looks like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=110+punch+down+tool To me, without seeing a side view of the keystone, I'd say that the...

Do you have keystones at both ends, or keystone at one end and RJ-45 connector at the other?

Have a very close look at the sides of the keystones to ensure that the wires are punched down to the bottom of the receptacles and have a look (end on), at the internal RJ-45 connector wires for any damage to them. (might be time for a magnifying glass) If you have enough cable to play with...

Ethernet cables contain 4 wire pairs. Only two functional wire pairs are required for 100 Mb/s or less. From your description, it sounds like those two cables are connected with two wire pairs, so, counting in any signal losses, you're ending up with 80 Mb/s, end to end. If the other two wire...

That was a very long time ago, fixed with a firmware update at the time. I haven't seen that come up on any of the modems since that time.

I second L&LD's and Merlin's recommendation. If you're going to buy a router these days, buy one with two or more multi-gig ports. Or as Merlin indicates, buy a small mini PC with multi-gig ports on it and run something like pfsense, opensense, OpenWRT or others. You can buy them as straight...

Have a look at the following post: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33633429- 8 Gb/s up and down. I haven't read thru the reviews, but, just thinking aloud, if you were trying to test a router, up to 10 Gb/s, you would probably need a service that would provide something like 12 Gb/s and...

If your ONT is a NOKIA XS-010X-Q as seen by the product tag on the bottom of the ONT, then it has a single Multi-gig ethernet port. That Multi-gig ethernet port is capable of running 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 2.5 Gb/s ,5 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s. So, fwiw, you don't necessarily need to restrict yourself to...

Well, if you prefer to not believe what I'm indicating, you can read thru the 160 page megathread that deals with that exact issue: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31118482-Yes-you-CAN-bypass-the-HomeHub-3000 Looks like several people have been using their own router for a good number of...

Nope, that won't work. With the Home Hub 3000, if you wanted to dump the HH3000, you could remove the SFP transceiver module and install in into a fibre/ethernet media converter. Then run ethernet into a router. With the Home Hub 4000 and its wifi 6e successor, the Giga Hub (HH4000 + Wifi...

@snaky69 even if you were to run the modem with a dmz, or in this case a pass thru mode or address, you can't avoid the overhead processing associated with PPPOE. So, its going to be interesting to see what customers think when Bell ramps up the speeds to 5 Gb/s and beyond, which most likely...

Take a read thru the following thread: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33527516-Internet-HomeHub-3000-bypass-disaster And then, if you're really interested, read thru the megathread: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31118482-Yes-you-CAN-bypass-the-HomeHub-3000 There are two problems to...

Absolutely agree with what it says .... but, it makes no sense. Why would you design a 1.2 Ghz low pass filter, call it usable for MoCA ops, and cut the performance off at 770 Mhz and above, when ISPs are moving up beyond 1 Ghz for DOCSIS ops? How the filter is designed and intended to be...
