Its been about 4 weeks. I have had 3 visits from Optimum, and the issue seems to be resolved after the 3rd. You just have to follow their brain-dead protocol, and continue to monitor, and keep records. 1st tech came out, his job was nothing more than a cursory look. 2nd tech, this guy had a...

Well the tech came today. Total waste of time. Pretty much if his iPad says everything is good, everything is good. When I started talk to him about the packet loss, T3 disconnects, T4 time-outs, he looked at me like I was speaking another language. He put me on the phone with his supervisor who...

Seeing more errors now. Uptime since last reboot is only 11 hours. Cable guy did not show up yesterday, "Will try for Sunday" effing optimum. There are two, 2-way splitters before the modem. Both are about 4 years old. Signals are in spec on the modem i think, so it may be between my house and...

This is what the SNRs look like and i thought they were all fine when i went through them

When the event is more severe, I get a modem error entry of this: any idea what that means?

86u, no dice. same crap. 4 WAN disconnects. Re-installed 88u. I have replaced and checked everything I could. Its up to the ISP now, its either the mainline coming into the house or possibly the lone splitter, even though all the modem specs check out fine. I tethered my desktop PC to my...

I grabbed this during a disconnect last night. (as well as others) What is a "net control packet" and why are there so many going OUT? 690mb in 10 seconds?! "gaming" data makes sense and looks good "streaming" data also looks accurate for her use of the appleTV while i was on the desktop.

failed. 4 drops tonight where all internet traffic was disrupted for 10-30 seconds. Later, a complete disconnect with critical modem error. I checked my ISP status and it said they were doing maintenance in the area. However, it did not say that during the previous 3 drops. I wonder if this...

I think we are getting somewhere.... a little short on my speed but i'll take it. I think we can iron out the speed once I get this nailed down. I'm feeling a little more confident. Both of these tests were done from my wired PC.

I flashed the router to Merlin 384.18, wow that was stupid easy. I found a post on the forum that said this I am going to try this ^ with the exception of DOCSIS and bandwidth adjustment

what is bufferbloat? and is this something I should dig deeper into?

Ok thank you, I see them on the asus website. I'm rolled back to 385_20490 on the 88u I feel it has performed better on this revision and the log stays clear. There are no wifi problems in particular, the clients never drop from their hosts, just the connectivity (bandwidth?) to the internet...

Thank you! After reading that post I saw that Merlin supports it as of last july when I searched recent posts and read his change log. Not sure if this is firmware related as its happening with two different versions of stock firmware, suppose it could be worth a try. when these events occur...

Its still dropping connections so its not the temperatures. They stayed at 71-72° all night, and i still had 3 connection drops. No errors in router or modem log. I will swap the router to the ac86u, and after that, I think its up to my ISP because ive done/checked/replaced everything.
