Is it possible a modem can cause an increase in ping ?

I've used both the Actiontec R1000H and the Asus rt-n56u with the R1. With the actiontec my average ping is 60 to 80 and with the Asus its 40 95 % of the time. There has to be something to this. Any ideas as to what could cause this ?

A modem shouldn't make a noticeable difference to ping unless its faulty in my opinion

Except maybe one of those all in ones from Comcast. They decrease speed by literally 50%.

Ain't that the truth! Had a HomeHub5 flake out on me today. Constant reset / rebooting. Wasn't using net so just left it for an hour and was still doing it so I got involved before the DLM kicked in.

 

Call to BT (which is a kind of purgatory all of itself) and they confirm HH has an 'issue'. No shit sherlock, told that to 3 departments before I spoke to you. Had another one in the cupboard so swapped them over and back online with no harm done and another HH on the way from BT. Without my spare HH I would of been down for 2-3 days.

 

I think I am going to get a HG612 modem and be done with them tbh

Deffo do that Buds , as the door closed behind the engineer i took the talktalk superouter (cough) out and put a HG612 in its place.

Yeah keeping an eye on a few locked HG612's on ebay. I'll unlock it and then telenet in to keep an eye in case DLM or interleaving gets added.

A seller was doing them for £17 new when I got mine a few weeks ago. works out at £20 with postage

 

Edit : yeah hes back selling them it says cheapest on ebay in the title and they are new i can vouch for that.

 

Ive just got another off him as a back up at that price :)

 

Its the V3 latest version. and they do flash ok i did mine.

I've experienced that with charter....especially with jitter. They gave me a junk all in one like five years ago. The jitter was 45ms with it and 2ms after
