Guys I set my thinkbroadband quality monitor up a week ago roughly and since then every day I have periods (hours of 100% packet loss) followed by normal pings then continues. The internet does NOT go down during this period and the superhub has been on for nearly 50 days straight with no reboot. I have turned the wan respond to ping ON, but I have not setup any port forwarding rules FOR THE BROADBAND MONITOR specifically...do I need to do so or turn UPNP on or something? I do have other existing port forwarding rules for other things.
Oh and my IP is still the same. And I do not turn the superhub off at night or during the periods of 100% packet loss.

I see this mentioned a lot and think this could be my problem but I'm not sure anyone explains properly what they mean. I THINK people are saying if you have existing port forwarding rules setup for things OTHER THAN the thinkbroadband quality monitor (Say torrents or something) then you should disable all of these OR set them to not be both UDP/TCP, but to have two seperate ones with the same port?
Can anyone confirm port forward rules set up in this way would interfer and cause intermittant results as in my post above, or would it cause 100% packet loss 100% of the time?
