Even though I have zero packet loss on all the tests I've done my Thinkbroadband quality monitor looks a little iffy though showing a little packet loss but my connection doesn't appear to represent what the graph shows so I'm not worrying about that. On my VM connection if the graph showed packet loss I would experience it my end.

I see my package is £5 cheaper per month so that's a little annoying.

So my FRITZ!Box 7530 AX router received an update and since then there is zero packet loss showing on the graph which is nice, although I never actually experienced any in my testing.

I got one as well. Don't know if you're registered with MyFritz!.net but they send monthly bulletins about useage/system etc and also tell you when an update is on it's way.

Don't think I am registered.

Do you have a thinkbroadband graph setup so you can see the difference the update made to the graph?

I do but haven't looked yet, don't look so often now as I don't have the "busy" VM connection to ponder over.
Just had a look, doesn't look a lot different really. Pretty clean chart on the whole before and after.

I had loads of red on mine but the update cured that, I'll post images tomorrow morning as I'm at work until 10. Did you have the same model of Fritz as me?

I do get some dropped packets showing (red) but never notice any issues in real time useage and haven't seen any in the few days since the update.
Yes I have the 7530AX also a Fritz 3000AX repeater that I bought direct from Germany rather than rent one off Zen.

Edit..Having looked a bit more thoroughly I do have dropped packets after the update, similar to before really. Nothing that shows in real world useage though.

Not a single dropped packet so far, as like you no real world packet loss when I did get them though.

After the update.


Before the update.
