Suffering Ping spikes if the router is maxing download, pushing 20ms into the hundreds. ive tried Modem/router modes independent with similar results.. DSL reports a B/c rating, and Think broadband a D rating which is rather poor.

200mb package, All power levels in range, no pre/post RS errors.

would a Router with QOS make any difference at this point if a direct Ethernet connection in modem mode still produced bloat? do have to throttle the bandwidth below 200mb to stop the spiking?

anyone?

cheers.

If its not high Utilization in your area then yes a router with QoS under your upto limits will help.

as far as i can tell its not high utilization in the area, always getting the max Dl +Uplaod speeds, but if anything else uses my connection while in a game for example my pings go sky high and packet loss.

Experiencing small amounts of packet loss even on modem mode however while just have one game (star citizen) running and no outside wireless connections, somewhere in the 1-2% range.

also have 2 dead ethernet ports on my SH3, not sure if the hardware itself is contributing, do VM allow alternative modems to be used?

You likely need a new hub and packet loss may be a problem with your line.
