30M R36 - Superhub - Gaming Latency (PS3)

Cheeky_Ash · 01-08-2012, 10:50

Guys,

Can anyone please help here? For the last 2 weeks plus - co-incidendly roughly the same time that my Superhub was upgraded to R36 - I have noticed significant increase in gaming latency to the point that I'm always at an unfair advantage to my opponent when gaming over the PSN either in modem or standard mode (hard wired).

This is very very frustrating. Anyway here are a few details to help with investigation.

There does seem some serious packet loss at times

& Speedtest have been good with ping 10mS, down 31M+, up 3.1M+

your power levels are fine. Although latency and jitter can be improved with firmware updates it isnt something VM care about and the shub only makes it worse which is one of the reasons many of us fought to keep our vmng300s. Technically there is nothing wrong and there is also nothing you can do about it unfortunately.

This happened to me, all i did was put the SH into Modem Mode & since then have not had any issues.
