Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 My router has been acting really weird lately in every way possible. At one point, i changed the settings to make bo3 a better experience and everything stopped working. I factory reset it and it was fine. Then again it acted weird, beeping, slow internet, disconnecting internet, no internet, and i factory reset it again. now again i have just slow internet and bad gaming experience. What am i supposed to do to try and fix this problem? do you think its within the router itself, or do you think this can be fixed with some settings changes? If it is the router, can it be replaced with a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Have you got cookies enabled in misc settings? Also is there any other electrical equipment like a cordless phone anywhere near the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 a cordless phone as in a cell phone or a house phone that is cordless? If you mean cell phone, I usually have my cell phone near it. If you mean house phone, we dont own one anymore. Yes, i have cookies enabled in settings, mostly because when i used to keep it off, It wouldnt save my routers settings when i tweaked it for my gaming (Sadly, no matter what i do it doesnt help, but thats another topic we could get into later.) I just dont know what to do because no matter what i do, I'm constantly having problems. One problem is the router and gaming and then the other problem is that i have slow internet or bad internet to the point that it disconnects us off of our phones or tablets. Is there a solution to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think you need to sort out your line first, you may need to contact your isp. Are you wired to do you connect over wifi for gaming? What are your upload and download speeds. Try downloading ping plotter and running that for a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 when i game, its wired. everything else is wireless. my upload speed is a 0.50 and the download speed is 7 which sucks. what is ping plotter? do i download that off the internet?

Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 alright. I downloaded ping plotter, a little confused on how to use it or to be able to check to see what my problem is. How do i use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 where it says enter target name or ip enter 8.8.8.8 and hit enter. this will connect you to googles main server and begin pinging it. Leave it for a few hours then have a look at the graph. Whilst you are leaving it to run it is a good idea to have a read through the literature that comes with it to help you understand what features it has etc and how to interpret the information. Or google some help information on it. .5 up and 7 down is more than enough to game with. Under the file menu is a take picture option. you can do this and upload it here so that people may be able to see if you have any issues that are obvious etc. Have you tried an Internet diagnosis using the R1 test on the user interface ?

Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ok sounds good. I forgot how to use internet diagnosis from the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Left hand column, internet diagnosis, click it and follow instructions. Then after it has run, click on I think more info. But don't do that whilst pingplotter is running as it disconnects your internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 ok. ill give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 how do i screen shot it? press print screen on keyboard correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yes then open up photoshop or similar, file new and paste. then resize to about 1000 px wide and keep quality below 2 mb, around 200 k will be fine. Im just heading on for a few games but will check back later to see how your getting on. To upload pics here go to more options bottom right of text box you type into, then attach image and remember to also click add to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzo Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 That's the diagnostic, it says spikes exceptional which is not good.. any way to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 No that's good, Right click on the graph and set it to 12 hours view or something similar so we can see if there are any spikes at certain times but it looks ok. Have you been through the wiki on how to set things up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagsta69 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah thats not to bad, how is your R1 set up? Do you have another router or just use the R1 I just use the R1 from my modem. I can only advise on that set up as thats what I use, In your instance I would set speeds at what you get form speed test when congestion control is set to 100%. Then based on that to help with buffer bloat I would set download to 70% and upload to between 80% and 90% as you don't have much upload. Prememptive. equal prioritisation for your devices and share excess ticked. Add your console to the hyper traffic beneath the prioritisation flower. I don't know where you live but set geo filter to around 1000KM and PA to 30ms In settings Miscellaneous settings, Enable deep packet UPNPforwarding and tick IPV6, and Cookies Make sure both boxes are ticked under cloud settings and hit apply. Give that a go. I am off to work shortly but will try and check to see how you are getting on. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Ok. Thank you for all the help man! I will definitely give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzo Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 I just hope that i can fix the problem with people getting disconnected off of the router. Because that is one of my main problems. When you get back on, do you know if theres a way that i could fix the problem where a couple of devices are getting kicked off? It happens mostly to my father and i cant seem to be able to fix that.

bagsta69 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm afraid not but you could try a different wifi channel than the one you are on. It may be to congested. If you have wifi workaround ticked, try unticking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
