Re: high packet loss/ping in games

Hi there.

From that trace route you've done, it doesn't look like you're getting past the router.

Is your computer wired to the router or using WiFi? Also, have you tried a factory reset of the router?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: high packet loss/ping in games

Is this over a wired or wireless connection?

We need to know that to progress the issue further.
