50M Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS) - Page 25

ok so on this pic I drawn a redline showing where it would be without the jumps, it seems to bear little relation to off peak and peak as I dont think my port is lower utilised at 4pm than at 5am, the jump after midnight was me uploading something so ignore that.

I can have tbb showing jitter of about 10ms then run pingtest.net and get 1ms, and I have posted pings on this forum numerous times lately showing very low jitter like on ignition's thread. So in my view when it jumps down thats the real jitter, and when it jumps up the operational mode changes to deprioritise the packets. What I have no idea on is if its the dir615 or the vmng300 as the vmng300 should simply be passing through the packets with no processing at all. However when I used the dir615 with my old 20mbit modem I did not see this pattern.

cant be anything to do with the modem, it doesnt do that for me, what firmware is the router running?

the dir615 is using ddwrt 14929 with SPI fw disabled.

I have but rolled back as all newer builds have some nasty bugs.

im using the very latest build on my Asus RT-N16, the only issue is uPnP, which is a known issue, and uPnP is disables by default, and iv left it there and had absolutely no problems. have you though of trying others like tomato, i keep meaning to give it a go but never get round to it

you forgot the wireless issue where ddwrt have decided to hard line stick to rfc specs meaning many users cannot get full speed N performance, and the few firmware builds where the ethernet ports completely stopped working O_o.

I read reports from others of various features not working in random 15x and 16x builds so reverted to the latest reccomended version from the main dev which is 14929. For what its worth tho I did use a newer firmware with the vmng300 before I downgraded and the ping graph had the same patterns. Your graph also has the patterns and you use a asus router.

iv just tried flashing tomato and I think iv bricked my router I can't get an up address wired and its not broadcasting wireless, any ideas?

I thought I bricked mine when I rolled back to 14929. What happened was I had the ddwrt ip set to 192.168.1.253, the default is 192.168.1.1.

After the flash it seemed to be using a mixture of the 2 for different functions and did respond to pings but was not accessible on the gui. and on dhcp etc.

I ended up doing the 30/30/30 reset which recovered it. So i would try that first, bit of a pain to do as I had to find something to hold the emergency reset down in that hole but ended up finding something to use.

There is a emergency flash tool which can be used, apparently supposed to run it whilst the router is booting up as is available for a small window during boot to accept a new flash. Info should be on ddwrt site somewhere for that.

--edit--

you using tomato so the recovery procedures I used may not be available.

I'll try a 30-30-30 tomorrow.

I would use a telnet, or use another up, but the router is bricked, for now anyway. I'm hoping clearing the nvram will sort it, but my computer just gets an autoconfiguration ip and no gateway

My connection has been abysmal since Friday.

I'm having an engineer sent out tomorrow to sort out the issues. Should have had one sent out today but it was cancelled without anyone informing me.

I just hope this gets sorted out.

Wow that's FUBAR, good luck with the engineer though

If he cant improve things make sure he escalates it to networks because that looks suspiciously like severe congestion which an engineer cant do an awful lot about.

TBB montors the IP addy so if someone else gets allocated it then it will monitor it.

Remember the discussion you had with Igni? Well you're doing the same.
