My quality of service at my parents house is not very good. As you can see the download and upload are poor. What adjustments can be made?
Would a different router make a difference? Comcast just installed the internet with a new router. Could it be their cable? I just dont know how to correct qos to make it better. Thanks for the help

What I can see right away is the packet loss of 13% and the jitter is high. I don't think you have control of that from your router. You might want to call your cable service and let them know your connection has very poor quality and let them try a few things to improve it.

My DSL speeds are much lower than yours and my packet loss is 0% and jitter at 1.5%. (jitter is a bit higher than normal for my connection.)

Wayne, Thanks for the quick reply. I just didn't know if it was something I could do on my end like different router or something else. Do you know off hand if the cable company is resposible for poor connection as long as the speeds are good? I can see me calling them and them saying sorry, but we dont guarantee anything but up and download speeds. Thanks again.

I found one router firmware package I tried created similar results as you just posted. Not quite as bad, but close. How hard would it be for you to connect a computer directly to the cable modem to run the test again?

Can you access the cable modem's configuration page to look at its error page. I had a time once long ago with cable where something was wrong on the cable company's end of things but until I checked the page to see the problems no one ever reported it.

What router do you have and what cable modem do you have? Are they separate or combined?

There are some online tools that can help change your settings in your router and modem to optimize your Internet connection.

This is the results without the router plugged in and the computer plugged directly into the cable modem. Would you now suggest to try a new router?

Holy smokes.. YES! Something is very wrong with your current router.

What router do you have? It is possible there is an open source firmware package that can solve your issues.

Cheers,
Scott

I checked the open source and it isn't available for qos. I think i will go try another router.

What router do you have? There are many alternatives and they all do not support the same set of hardware.

Its a netgear router. The problem is, is that its about 6 miles away at my parents house and I dont remember the model number. I do have a linksys router model wrt54g. I might try that one.
