Re: 50-70% Packet Loss On The New Router.

That answer is simple if the only change was the hardware.

That router is not rated that highly online and people have been having similar issues.
Get a new router, explain to your ISP to get a different router from them or if they dont have another one just buy one that is better.

    For about a month, everything was working perfectly. Why should be now a problem?

  • @EzyHawkHey, ty for the answer. Both routers running on the same ISP. Both routers have the same "ISP Settings" on the setup, i hard reset the TP Link like 5 times and test it with the "ISP Settings" that they gave me, its been a week that start those massive packet loss. I dont have clue what else i can do about it. Tried to flashdns many times in the past aswell. 

  • I do not know the longevity of this router, it may have over heated at some point causing reduced performance like other people have had.

    and why would their be a problem now IF no settings have been changed on the router?

    The packet loss stats on the load screen are not reliable ignore them if your fine while playing

    Well, it seems overall the router has the problem maybe something wrong with the specific one i got. Il return it back when the corona things pass away. Cant find any solution and tp link doesnt even respond to me.

  • Maybe there is something wrong with your settings. I think you have to reset it, or to perform a restart. This is pretty easy to do and sometimes it could fix your issues. To be honest, I've met that issue a lot of times and for the first time when I tried to fix it, I've lost a lot of time to understand how should I do that. But I was lucky enough to find this article, 192.168.1.1 about how to perform a restart and how to access the admin page. To be honest, I would never find out how to do that, more than that I was able to find a lot of useful tips that helped me a lot and now I have a stable connection. Try it too, I think you will fix your problem this way

    After contacting EA Help, My ISP With a technician on my home to check the phone cables and lines, Tp Link, i didnt end up with a clear solution. All of them was out of ideas, so i guess its a hardware issue, but im sad cause for 2 months it was working good, with less ping than the old router that im getting nearly 90 Ms the past 2 weeks. Kinda sad, but im out of ideas anymore, made even a clean install of windows in case i messed something on registry/network (even if i had already reset it about 7 times).
