i’m ready to pull what little hair i have left … plz help me to fix this seemingly huge consistent packet loss i am having on my rb1100hx2 … pls advise what info you need from me to help fix this " issue" i seem to be having a lot of consistent packet loss on my router lately … it gets so bad my voip and even skype drops calls, websites load slow, timeout, our websites load slow etc…
to restate … running ping program on a puter connected directly to modem we get no packet loss …but when connected TO the router we get consistent packet loss in a somewhat random sequence… aka … 10 good pings… then 2 or 3 timeouts then 12 good pings then 5 timeout etc…doesnt seem to be a pattern .. random …
i am wondering is there is a setting we can tweak etc … some have mentioned adjusting ttl … dont know how … pls help i initially "contacted our isp thinking it was " their " network … i ran a ping monitor program and it showed packet loss on the public / upstream side of the modem … ( aka plugin computer directly to modem port / plugin ) which they seem to have fixed … but the same program now shows massive packet loss from my laptop thru the router … when i run ping test from " terminal " in mikrotik control panel it shows packet loss in a random pattern… any suggestions …
i have a couple servers behind the router on internal ips, i have 3 public ips provided by my isp … i am using NAT… the problem, we barely even come close to utilizing our pipeline…
the packet loss seems to come in spurts… some have mentioned it might be a ttl issue ..not sure… all i know is that packet loss gets so bad that websites timeout, website pages
i am kinda new to this … i am a computer tech but this mikrotik os is not my area of expertise and know just enuf to get my self in trouble so need some advice and/or diagnosis from experts in router os configuration..
