Re: Trace route interpretation

This is from behind a router but connected directly to the modem gives similar results.

Anyway i sent Customer Support this trace route. (performed well directly connected to the modem)



They replied a few days later saying

"Thank you for the trace route, it shows it taking a long time for
Information to leave your computer and get to the modem. " and asked me to perform a netstat.

However I am sceptical, I don’t think it does show that at all and they are just trying to pin the blame at my end. I have tried with 9 different computers all show the line to deliver extremely slow speeds.
I am convinced the slow speeds are due to over utilization of Vm's local network and posts on the news groups have confirmed this.

So in short please can someone give me a second option on what the trace route shows. many thanks

Ps. Sorry for such a long winded post I but all the background is there if you need it.
Next step power levels please:

192.168.100.1 - root / root is the login - can you post power levels for up and downstream. Don't post your MAC address.

Can you provide a ping aswell please. Preferably connected directly.

A netstat would help Windows key + R - cmd type netstat -a again past the results.
