High pings

Hi
After my d link router went belly up  i was sent a thompson tg585 v7.
Set up was easy , but i have two problems, my ping times in the servers i use have jumped from around 50 ms to anything up to 1500 ms.
Secondly (probably me being a doof) where do i find my router stats? i cant seem to find any details from the thompson.
I have run speed tests which seem fine
Date                      Download Speed                      Upload Speed 
Today10:23          5983 kbps (748kB/s)                371 kbps (46.4kB/s)
Also ran a trace route (which means nothing to me 🐵
C:\Users\ROY>tracert bbc.co.uk

Trace complete.
Any advice would be most welcome
cheers

Re: High pings

ryoken,
Are you connecting wirelessly to your router, or via an ethernet cable? Looking at the ping times to your router, I would say it's wireless...

Re: High pings

Hi there,
Your traceroute looks absolutely fine.
The only delay is the first hop to your router, which is perfectly normal.
What do you see when doing a traceroute to one of the servers that you use?

Re: High pings

Have no idea how to trace route to just an ip .
At the moment the pings to the ip addy look fine but during the evening pings go mental and I'm usually kicked for high ping

Re: High pings

You just type the IP address instead.
For example: tracert 232.163.75.32
(I just made that one up :p)

Re: High pings

Okay, that still looks fine.
Try doing a traceroute when you're having problems and also try pinging the IP address directly.

Re: High pings

without checking - I think that is the Ellacoya step which has the higher ping

Re: High pings

Sounds like time for a wireshark capture
My guess is that the non-standard ports are not being classified correctly by the Ellacoyas.
