I've used several different methods of testing. I've used the in-router speed test which also tracks packet loss which is pretty much local tests meaning testing servers which are at most a 30m drive from my location. There's an in-game net-graph that also includes in/out packet loss and that ...

that had nothing to do with fixing the packet loss cause it's back.. what happened was the modem reset and connection to servers was good for about a half hour then that's it.. that's the pattern I'm seeing here

Here's something interesting. Since about a half hour after taking the attenuators off ping plot runs have been clean with no packet loss. I did replace the old couplings with gold plated ones but still had the attenuators on. Now that the attenuators are off and the gold plated couplings remain on ...

Still having super bad packet loss. I'm a novice with Ping plotter but all my hops to a game server have packet loss. All of them. I taped up the connection points outside the house and on the pole. I took out all my attenuators and let the line run freely to the modem and checked the Pwr db levels ...

Sorry to hear.. :/ Sounds like this is the culprit though.
See if packet loss subsides when it all dries up well?

I would also put some dielectric grease on connectors to deter water intrusion. Keep in mind that there may be water-related issues somewhere further up the line.

It rained all day ...

So since the line was replaced things have been fine. Had a day or two of rain, no issues. It rained all day today, packet loss is back. It's only been a week. I can't believe this.

I have some rubber splicing waterproofing tape and some Super 88 Electrical tape and I'm going to put my fiberglass ...

Yup! Tech said the cable line drop was close to 10yrs. He said he's been doing his job so long that he can tell how old the cable is by seeing how much of the black insulation rubs off. Replaced the line to the house, and I helped run the line from the basement to the outside, just to make sure all ...

It is fine to have a break point outside the house, just try to have a strait run from there to the modem, without using splitters if possible (taps are ok).

Upstream attenuators help the modem "speak louder", they help if there is noise on the line that gets pretty close to the upstream power ...

Forgot to ask. If it's not the cable line causing PL what else could it be? Maybe bad cable modem?

I am getting a lot of packet loss at anytime day or night. Been testing with the speed test on my router and that's one of the sources saying I'm getting packet loss. Some PL readings from the router have shown up to 56%. The other source is while gaming looking at the in-game net graph. My Incoming ...

This setting may allow you to open the send TCP Window over 64kb on some Windows variants that limit it, it may improve single outgoing high bandwidth, high latency transfers.

Thanks. Does it only allow for a larger window or does it also dynamically lower them? If it lowers it does that improve ...

Came across this in some guys diary of tweaks,
[h=3]Enable Winsock Send Autotuning[/h]
Went looking around a little and didn't find much. He suggests turning it on. The power shell command is: netsh winsock set autotuning, to check the current state: netsh winsock show autotuning. Apparently mine ...

When you enable Chimney offload through CMD (run as administrator) it forces all TCP connections to be offloaded by the Network Adapter. While this does free up the CPU and offer better System Performance for older CPUs + gaming, it does bring a slight latency. I think it also requires RSS to be ...

Hey there. Was recently reading the Advanced Tweaks section and I came across the UDP Packet size section and decided to take a look in the registry (windows 10 latest as of Jan 18') and I didn't find the registry location listed on the Advanced Tweaks UDP section; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM ...

Is the recommended setting of 8 in Hexadecimal or Decimal?

netsh is deprecated in Windows 10 and some of the commands don't work. In theory the PowerShell cmdlet should show the correct setting. There is a registry hack in that article above (and the TCP Optimizer) that shows the correct congestion provider in netsh.

There is no conflict when using a mix ...

Get-NetTcpConnection , or Get-NetTransportFilter will show the currently used template.
Get-NetTcpSetting InternetCustom will show the current settings in the InternetCustom template.


Sorry for all the elementary questions.

TransportFilter worked, under admin credentials. SettingName :Internet ...

Yeah, that's what I meant, those settings in PowerShell are read-only, you'd get an error if you try to change them. Windows 8.1 and 10 have the same syntax (they both use the InternetCustom template).

The Registry setting as per the article, or the TCP Optimizer should work.


How do I know ...

Hmm, I'm on Windows 10 and it didn't seem to change to internetcustom

"delayedacktimeout" is a netsh/PowerShell setting having to do with CTCP
"TcpDelAckTicks" is a registry/PowerShell setting related to Nagle's algorithm, it can be set as per the article...

Keep in mind some netsh commands are deprecated in Windows 8, and PowerShell shows both as read-only.. You ...

I am new when it comes to powershell command lines. I wouldn't know how to adjust any TCP setting. The only bit of knowledge I know was from coming across this page from speedguide. I'm curious about the DelayedAcktimeout and how to adjust this setting, as well as others. Also does it work only if ...

I've been trying out a couple of NIC adapters. 2 Intel, Gigabit CT & a Pro/1000 PT Dual.

How do I get rid of them from showing up in TCP Optimizer?

Thanks

So this basically sends packets right away; theoretically smaller packets and thus increasing CPU use/cycles, right? If so then I would want to set my Windows stack and adapter to accept all types of offloading, sidescaling, etc. to compensate the increased packet count, right?

Gaming Tweak - Disable Nagle's algorithm

What are the correct settings for this? I currently have:

TcpAckFrequency: enabled:1
TCPNoDelay: enabled:1
TcpDelAckTicks: enabled:1

Is this correct to 'Disable Nagle's algorithm'?

Hello

What are the best Broadband optimizations on any given game? e.g. Unreal Tournament III

Great Tool! Thanks

EDIT:
Is there a discussion in the forums about this or just through the article located here: http://www.speedguide.net/articles/wind ... /#comments ???
