    Assistance With Ping and Jitter

    I cannot switch DNS servers, that's the thing. It's configured into the gateway and they do not allow me to change it.

    Assistance With Ping and Jitter

    So I'm confused. I'm waiting in a live chat right now to be able to talk to my ISP (Rogers Canada.) According to Moderators on their forum, I shouldn't be seeing any packet loss when ping their DNS servers... which is why I'm concerned.

    Assistance With Ping and Jitter

    Hi everyone, been having lots of issues with ping and jitter recently, despite having Cake QoS on my router, which leads me to believe this is an ISP issue. Here's some ping results... when I ping 8.8.8.8, I get no packet loss or any issues like that. I've pinged it several times but...

    connmon Negatives to constantly pinging 8.8.8.8

    Hi everyone, Trying to decide whether I want to ping 8.8.8.8 every 10 minutes or less... what are the negatives to pinging 8.8.8.8 say.. every 2-3 minutes? Does a ping test cause any lag during gaming? I have an Asus Rog Gt AC2900. I'm guessing a higher CPU usage but I believe my router can...

    Diversion Is Ad bar but no ad on YouTube normal?

    Question about Diversion. On Youtube, is this normal for the ad bar to still appear but with just no ad on it? Or is something configured incorrectly.

    System Memory running low

    Perfect, so it sounds like I just need to trust the system and let it do its magic. :)

    System Memory running low

    Thanks so much. I was just a bit skeptical as I wanted to add another add on (the adblock one.) Thanks for this informative article by the way. Knowing that the Swap file is slower, is it possible to manually allocate some of the info to the swap file? Or is that all done automatically? Is...

    System Memory running low

    Hey everyone, I'm noticing that each week, my system memory is increasing, and I'm now at 86%. This is on my Asus rog GT AC2900. I'm afraid that eventually, I will run out of system memory. I currently have CakeQoS, scMerlin and connmon as the addons on my router. I was under the impression...

    Asus Rog GT AC2900 RGB Help

    Hey everyone, Does anyone with the Asus Rog GT AC2900 or with the understanding of the RGB lights on the router able to help me understand this "Event RGB mode?" More specifically, the "Traffic Meter." For me, all it does is illuminate in 4 different colours, but I'm not quite sure what...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Jitter

    I'm suspecting that it is an ISP issue. This issue seems to happen when our upload speeds are having issues. There are times when our upload speeds won't exceed 10 mb. They'll jump to 10 mb then start to sink down to 1mb. Then the jitter starts spiking. We've let our ISP know about this issue...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Jitter

    Wanted to show you this graph as well.. I've let it pinging overnight (every 10 minutes). Significantly less jitter overnight, so it perhaps does seem like it is network congestion? But by who? Is it me or is it my ISP? My package is 500/20. At about 10 AM, we have an additional two laptops...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Jitter

    Thank you so much for this helpful information. I plugged an ethernet cord from the XB6 directly into the computer and I'm still getting some pretty high jitter numbers, so it does seem like it is an ISP issue. There are many other things connected to the XB6, but it's nothing new.... No new...

    160mhz Channel Bandwidth

    Pardon my lack of knowledge here because networking is all new to me. I think I get you now. So the item (phone, computer, whatever) would have to support the use of a 160mhz band. Got it. So is there any harm in having the 20/40/80/160mhz option selected? As that is one of the options. We...

    IPV6 Help

    So I'm currently double NAT. I have IPV6 enabled on the Asus router but it's not assigning my computer an IPV6 address in the current setup. Does that have anything to do with it? So the family isn't approving it because of where everything would be located. There is a gaming computer in the...

    160mhz Channel Bandwidth

    Appreciate the reply. So my router also has a "Use DFS Channels" option. My router is an AC router though. If both are supported, is it good to try it out? Appreciate your reply as well. I have an option to enable DFS channels on my router. I heard those are good for less network...

    160mhz Channel Bandwidth

    Hey folks, I've been looking around online for an answer about this 160mhz channel bandwidth setting on 5ghz network. Not exactly sure if this is something I should be using or not. My ISP speeds are 500/20 (although I have it as 400/18 for CakeQoS purposes). My router is the Asus Rog GT...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Jitter

    Interesting, I'm still receiving quite a bit of jitter, and I even tried to ping the IP you mentioned when I did the trace route (started with 99.xxxx) Will changing the channel on my router help with this any at all? I know it's only for WiFi. Also, I'm not sure what the difference is...

    IPV6 Help

    Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to receive an IPV6 address with this current setup? I'm unable to put the Gateway into bridge mode as it's not something the family can agree on.

    CakeQOS CakeQoS Jitter

    Sounds good. I'll try the traceroute later today and then I'll start pinging that and I'll provide an update. Thanks again for your help.
