weird ping out of nowhere


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've had the netduma for a bit now and have a good idea how it works. Last week I had some issues with my ping spiking from my normal 20ms to 900+ms then back down it was back and forth. I disabled DPI first and that ceased. Now I notice my in game ping to my hosts for me remastered is .2-.5ms. I've reset the device, my chrome is set to wipe browser cache with reloads, I haven't checked IW because I don't play it. Any thoughts?

Hey, welcome to the forum & great name!

 

Ensure you have the default theme selected not V2. I'm not sure if I understand the .2 - .5 ms ping part, could you clarify? 

 

Are you using congestion control with ALL devices connected to the R1?

Posted

Yes, I run default theme.

 

On ping to host while in game it generally is 20-24ms now it shows .2ms -.5ms. My Internet is pretty good but not that good. With a ping like that I would expect to BE the host. :-) This just started after disabling DPI. I also recently started getting an the error message with PS4 network test, "...device may not support packet fragmentation" This coupled with the ping jumping from 20ms to 900 ms to 20ms back and forth led me to start disabling dpi. With the R1 removed from the network and straight to my modem or old router I do not see this message. I'm stumped. I have no issues now with ping spikes but still getting the fragmentation error with the R1 in place as well as the strange ping numbers. Games seem to be playing well but it scares me that something may be wrong with the hardware/software of the R1. Should I reset to default again ?

Merry Christmas! I believe it's already your Christmas, no?

 

It certainly is Christmas - Merry Christmas to you as well. This is something Fraser will know more about so I'll get him on it; I've never encountered that sort of problem before. It's probably worth factory resetting, though try a reboot from misc first as it's not advisable to factory reset generally. I'm glad to hear you don't get bad lag from this though; that points to the problem being more aesthetic. It'd also be worth knowing what your set-up is.

Hi, did you make any changes to the MTU section in settings? Make sure you have auto-MTU enabled there is rarely ever a reason to change that. Merry Christmas!

Also, I have tried 2 factory resets now and verified that MTU is all default settings, ps4 auto, R1 auto. This has me stumped lol. I mean for sure I would love to have .4ms, who wouldn't? :-) But it's not a true picture and also the router in use may not support packet fragmentation.... warning at the very same time has me worried about my R1 hardware/software.

My settings:

wifi- off

Lan/Wan ipv6- FALSE

Mtu- auto

Reactive- TRUE

Cc sliders while gaming 70/70

Geo Filter- enabled w/ show dormant and strict TRUE

Distance- 812.13 miles

PA- 20ms

VPN- FALSE

UPNP- TRUE

ISP speeds- 160/20Mbps

Netduma Speeds 165/22Mbps

Buffer bloat 100% cc- A+,A,A+

Buffer bloat 70% cc-A+,A+,A+

 

Usual R1 in game ping to host 20ms

I agree it's seems to be an aesthetic issue. I seemingly have zero I'll effects. While the PS4 is reporting the "....packet fragmentation...." issue Ping Plotter has shown no issues over 24hrs to any major services including a few server IPS I frequent.

Just a thought, ensure on your ISP hub that UPnP & port forwarding are disabled. As well as disabling UPnP forwarding in miscellaneous settings.

No luck. Disabling turbo mode simply created a situation where my ping would go from .2 -25ms and back and forth at this point the game was almost like I was missing frames but I am not experience cong any packet loss from the rest of the network so I assume the ps4 isn't either. Swapped cables, rechecked power and all connections. Everything is a-ok. Not sure what is going on. Weird. I rebooted and the ping was still fluctuating until I enabled turbo back ON. This smoothed it back out and now it's .2-.4ms strange brew.

The fragmentation issue occurs with a lot of people who don't have dumas so definitely indicates a ps issue. If you want me to have a look just post in the 1 on 1 section.

Fraser Thanks for the offer of a 1 on 1 but we don't need that hassle. You are busy and other than the strange numbers displaying I am having no other issues at this time. Game play is smooth and I am consistently on top of the leader boards even when my side gets smoked so no harm no foul. Let's just see what happens after Duma2.0 is released then we may get hard and heavy into looking at this.

Okay no worries, do let me know if you change your mind. Happy to help! I'll close this thread for now. Feel free to create another thread if you have any other issues.
