Local network pings to router drop!

Post by knightofnee1112 »

I am starting to hate this router, first multilink, now I find out the cause of my packet loss is the router itself! I can ping it 50 times and it will drop at least 10 within the internal network! what can I do to fix it?

If you're dropping pings pinging the router from the LAN then either the router is bad, or you have a bad cable somewhere (is there a switch after the router? If so you could have a bad switch).

You make your own cables by any chance? It's easy to make a bad cabel, even if you're a pro. I hate making cables.
