High ping and packet loss

[Humayon]

<p>Hey guys,</p><p>Having a lot of problems playing the game as of last week-ish.</p><p>I log on and see that the ping fluctuates from 150-4000 and packet loss does the same between 1-50 making impossible to play.</p><p>I ran the tracert/pathping test and here are the results:</p><p>Tracing route to amseq2-03-01.everquest2.com [195.33.139.96]over a maximum of 30 hops:  1    46 ms    99 ms    99 ms  O2WirelessBox.lan [192.168.1.254]   2    17 ms    17 ms    17 ms  78-86-20-1.zone2.bethere.co.uk [78.86.20.1]   3    17 ms    29 ms    17 ms  10.1.2.218   4   142 ms   176 ms    87 ms  206.165.73.37   5   117 ms   118 ms   118 ms  ae3-20G.scr4.LON3.gblx.net [67.17.111.142]   6    30 ms    40 ms    28 ms  lag2.ar9.LON3.gblx.net [67.17.106.149]   7   154 ms   151 ms   148 ms  xe-4-2-0.edge3.london1.level3.net [4.68.62.245]   8    93 ms    93 ms    94 ms  ae-52-52.csw2.London1.Level3.net [4.69.139.120]   9    54 ms    54 ms    56 ms  ae-58-223.ebr2.London1.Level3.net [4.69.153.137]  10   125 ms   123 ms   124 ms  ae-48-48.ebr2.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.69.143.81]  11   123 ms   120 ms   118 ms  ae-2-52.edge3.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.69.139.169]  12    59 ms    59 ms    58 ms  vl155.amsixsw-1.sonyonline.net [213.244.164.38]  13    73 ms    75 ms    75 ms  195.33.139.96</p><p>Trace complete.</p><p>Computing statistics for 50 seconds...            Source to Here   This Node/LinkHop  RTT    Lost/Sent = Pct  Lost/Sent = Pct  Address  0                                           My-PC.lan [192.168.1.80]                                 0/ 100 =  0%   |  1    0ms     0/ 100 =  0%     0/ 100 =  0%  O2WirelessBox.lan [192.168.1.254]                                 0/ 100 =  0%   |  2   18ms     0/ 100 =  0%     0/ 100 =  0%  78-86-20-1.zone2.bethere.co.uk [78.86.20.1] Trace complete.</p><p>Also checked the ports and they are opened. I have done power-cycling of router as well.</p><p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Is there still a lot of latency and packet loss if you hardwire to the router or bypass it directly to the modem? Non-wireless.</p>

<p>I just disabled the wireless function on my box and ran the game. Not a single problem all good, so i thought may be that was it. So i turned wireless back on, again no problems. 5 minutes later, high ping. Switched wireless off again, still high latency. Not sure why the on/off behaviour.</p><p>I will be online and see how long it happens for.</p>
