Re: High Volume of Upload Data causing connection drop

Thanks for the reply! 

What is the input buffer, I know that's a technical question just interested. How come to BT can't support the given upload rate, you'd assume if they supply 110mbps upload it would be able to maintain that rate? 

Thanks in advance!

Re: High Volume of Upload Data causing connection drop

Very simplistic answer.

Every router has an input buffer where it holds data until it can be upload or download to either the internet or your PC.

You PC will upload to your router at 1Gbpx but once the buffer gets full the router will tell your PC to pause until it has uploaded enogh data to make room in the buffer to accepct more this only takes milliseconde. Meanwhile the router is reciving data at 1Gbps but because the buffer may be full it camn't pass all that data on, for a short while you may get it but then it becomes so congested you get gridlock and everything comes to  halt. Connection dropped, router clears the buffer and starts all over gain.

Re: High Volume of Upload Data causing connection drop

Hello! Thanks for the insight - that's interesting! I am using a RT-AX82U ASUS router which is fairly well spec'd at £225. Anything I can do with the WAN settings that you know of to help with this issue, sounds like it sits on the side of the router more than the WAN from what you are saying?
