Either with or without the router attached. The reason I ask and I should have mentioned in my above post, so apologies. Is that you were informed of "ping loss", however, a loss of packets "ping loss" are not apparent in the results you have posted back.
So if we can capture any packet loss when you lose connection to the radio broadcast then we can point the finger at a VirginMedia network issue. |
Tried it later this evening ( post 21.15) and lost radio about half a dozen times, in each instance there was no packet loss.
However, at one point the reception was very erratic ( no packet loss ) but noticed the BBC download (?) speed was 44.1kbps. Had no audio but had green signal on iplayer screen monitor indicating signal still present. Came out and went back in again and the speed was 65.1 kbps.
If I listen to
www.kickradio.nl I seem to experience no problems at all and think their download (?) speed is 128 kbps.
Currently listening to Capital Gold with no problem and it's as if the lack of radio drop out is linked perhaps to a quiet sunday evening implying less people on the net perhaps.
Also checked my ssid and that's disabled.
As we discussed previously, will recheck with both pcs' via router and both linked separately direct to modem.
Thanks & regards, John
