traces from home hub show latency. support want me to reset hub

Go to solution

Hi there.  I am getting intermittent high ping and latency over the last 8 hours.  I've restarted the hub twice and it improves for a while but comes back.  Support want me to factory reset the hub.  I dont see any evidence that there is a problem with the hub itself though.  All web traffic is affected:  pages slow to load, streams cut out, gaming impossible.  I ran a trace and provided it to support.  Here is a trace taken at a time when the symptoms were obvious, then a minute later, the symptoms went away, and i took another trace to the same destination, which now seems to be going a different route.  So i am thinking, unhappy device along the route in the network is more likely than a hub problem?

Trace 1:

Trace 1, Number 2 is your default gateway so your hub could still be the cause of the problem.

If you're reluctant to do a factory reset because you don't want to be messing about setting everything up again afterwards then backup your configuration and restore it again later, it doesn't take that long and will at least eliminate your hub from the list of possible causes

The problem has stayed away now though.  i wonder if someone kicked that gateway

Interestingly that gateway ending in .64 appeared to start playing up again today.  I talked to 1st line on live chat and this time, they said that tests showed “congestion” on the network.  Said it was being dealt with.
