Good stuff 
Let us know if this continues to improve the performance and it will be worth keeping in mind should someone see these issues again the in future!

Apologies for the delay in response, I'm not covering the community forums this week.
Wireshark results would help if you can get these up and running however I know this can be a very complex process to capture the data on console so I'll see if I can grab you some info on setting this up and capturing the data.

Thanks,

Hi again ghos7em1,
Here are some details from Linn on the same process from a while back -

Please find a guide to running Wireshark here: http://community.plus.net...reshark-for-data-capture/ You would need to set up port mirroring on your router so that the data that's coming through the port where your xbox is connected will reflect on Wireshark on your PC/laptop. :eth switch mirror capture port 3 :eth switch mirror ingress port 4 state enabled :eth switch mirror egress port 4 state enabled This is to capture on port 3 everything on port 4 i.e. Xbox on port 4, Wireshark on port 3 You would need to start to run Wireshark before you start the game and then stop capturing once the game has started. Please then save the file and then zip it and then submit this on a ticket for us to look into.

Full details can be seen in the thread here but what you would need to do is connect the xbox to port 4 and then you would have your PC or laptop connected to port 3 and would mirror the traffic from 4 to 3 so that Wireshark will see all the traffic on the PC or laptop running to and from the xbox.

do i have to use the technicolor router to do this test or can i use a different router?sorry to be a pain but the reason i had this big connection was to host games on gow 2

[#8]

Those commands only work on a Technicolor router.  You might be able to do it on a different one, but it's dependent on what functionality that router has. 

[#9]

cant be port 4 because the modem connects to that port

[#10]

I've just tried running some tests, but it's showing that your Modem is powered down, is this correct? If so, would you be able to leave it switched on please?

[#11]

I've retested your line and it looks clear from this end of things.
Would you mind setting up a TBB Graph and keep your connection running?

[#12]

ok m8 ill set it up

[#13]

im on dynamic ip think graph can only be set up with static ip,ive done a wireshark capture and waiting for you guys to get back to me on that.

[#14]

Thanks - we've got that, we'll be back in touch.
