doylebl Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 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 ?

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 A modem shouldn't make a noticeable difference to ping unless its faulty in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TearlessTub Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 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%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 A modem shouldn't make a noticeable difference to ping unless its faulty in my opinion I shall send you some of my unsold bt homehubs.. oh wait you said unless its faulty... i think faulty is the stock firmware on homehubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I shall send you some of my unsold bt homehubs.. oh wait you said unless its faulty... i think faulty is the stock firmware on homehubs 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buds Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illusiveman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 in my opinion modem routers should act as a dumb modem switch when there is another router imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunzby Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Except maybe one of those all in ones from Comcast. They decrease speed by literally 50%. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
