So far I am not sure - still having the same issues but not as often. I think the routing has improved. I was also told the C4s were wide open to see if the local system could handle the power boost - that's why I see 32000+ speeds once in a while.

But I am still losing lots of packets.

This router (listed below) can not be in hartford CT because if it is I am going to Chicago, then SouthBend IN then Hartford CT then back to CHI where I jump on Level 3. I figure they are all in chicago and changing reverse DNS records is not high on the list.

This router consistently loses 40+ percent of the packets so it is overloaded or broken or simply needs some TLC. The first number (43) is percentage of packets lost, then familiar IP address and DNS name.




I've left default DNS servers in place but I have noticed that 60 to 70 percent of the time I am talking to the server supposedly located in Michigan and listed second. I found that bad.

I'll be switching to a faster set of DNS servers, at least they use to be, later - wanted to try everything factory for a bit.
