Hi

I am inclined to think it is the isp gateway then (option 3 of my thoughts I posted)

If that is the case, you would need to clearly document your upstream packet loss and report it to your dsl provider

They may or may not correct the packet loss

Appreciate an update when you have contacted your provider

Many thanks

John
ok but can you tell me difference between isp gateway and modem?

Hi

I suppose the easiest way to understand in a laymen term would be to view the bridge (modem) as a switch between your router and isp gateway

This is not the case if using nat

Many thanks

if you have config your modem and router in bridge mode then how you keep an eye on your modem stats?

With the BT modem HG612 we have a cable from LAN1 to the router WAN port for the bridge and a second cable from LAN2 to a LAN port on the router. It depends on the modem/router having a second port which is addressable via a LAN IP address.

Hi

@neil - in previous posts above you stated you were already monitoring stats from a second connection!

So I am not clear over your last few posts asking how to monitor modem stats and no lan slots available!

Many thanks

It might be possible depending on your router and modem. If you follow some of the links from this section of the Kitz guide you should get some idea of the complications!

Hi

If your modem is correctly in bridge, ping would not ping it

It should be

Pc
Router
Gateway
Etc...

Probably best to post your pathping

Many thanks

John
ISP fixed it i think ping is now going to router gateway
