Issues with packet loss (Poss line attenuation?)

mrJD — Sun, 04 Sep 2022 22:05:47 GMT

Hi, I've been having real issues with online gaming recently with packet loss/burst. I have a TP-Link router which I have set up with QoS. I noticed in the DSL stats it's stating;

Uptime of 1 day

Current Rate (kbps)	17349	45705
Max Rate (kbps)	17471	70679
SNR Margin (dB)	6.1	6
Line Attenuation (dB)	0.1	12.6
Errors (pkts)	60	28

Is the Line Attenuation (upstream) too low or is this just a by product of having a third party router?

Thanks.

your connection speed of 45mb looks very low compared to your attainable of 70mb are you having problems maintaining a stable connection? if you have a landline not on digital voice could you check for noise by dialling 17070 option 2 should be silent and best with corded phone

Hi, how do you get that handy table with attenuation figure? I've got a very similar problem.
