Start by connecting a PC/Laptop directly to the shub so as to eliminate any problems occurring in your internal network. It will either show an external problem or indicate that the problem is within your house.

Using a shub 2 will go a long way towards fixing your problems but I still think there are two of three contributing factors. The other two is wifi and electrical interference through the powerline adapters. All of that would be fixed by either getting a proper router with decent wifi or running patch cables straight to the router for a wired connection, all of which I said in my first post. Getting a new router wont fix the interference between your router and the powerline adapters. If you need want a perfect connection for gaming you need to fix all the problems and not just one.

why?

Re: need advice and help for a possible fix

because you don't need a catv cable and luckily for you you haven't ordered one. You have ordered a 30m utp patch cable.

because that is what you need in order to bypass your powerline adapters and establish a direct wired connection to the shub. You have ordered a "network" cable which establishes the connection between your pc and the shub. What you wanted to order is coax which is responsible for your outside connection between the shub (modem) and VM's network.

ok, thats what i ordered, so now what?

Re: need advice and help for a possible fix

I see the confusion he has ordered a Cat5 cable NOT a CATV cable. When he write CATV he meant CAT five. I hope

Re: need advice and help for a possible fix

isnt CATV = CAT5? V is the roman numeral for 5..

well spotted dude, I would never have got that in a million years because I have never seen Cat5 written as catv

it sure is but you didn't order that either, you ordered a cat5e and if you had written it as catve I might have twigged eventually. I have a networking certification from the gods of networking and I have never seen cat5 written as catv nor cat6 written as catvi. You aren't doing yourself any favours.

Re: need advice and help for a possible fix

You caused the confusion. See here:-

Those are CATV cables.

Re: need advice and help for a possible fix

i guess we are all matured enough to know the difference between Television cables and networking ones.
btw, if i were u i would stop taking sides and sarcasm like 5 years old kids.
god, why its always easier to find a solution in American forums, without all these name-calling and arguing? grow up please.
im not here on a verbal joust, im here to ask for advice.

"he is right", "thanx for backing me up there", "ur fault", "u caused it", "u said this"...
jesus christ..
thank goodness i pointed out my limited knowledge in my op.

what are u going to prove? that i dont have the knowledge? well guess what, if i had i would not come here asking.
