Rain 5G + Switch

Just ran a test now.

It seemed pretty solid for a couple of seconds before the request timed out and came back a few seconds later. The results below were pretty much the average throughout a 3-minute test:
Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=36ms TTL=114

It timed out twice during this small test.

Are you SURE this is a switch and not another router?

Because two DHCP servers fighting on the same network would cause this kind of thing.
 
Run a test for an hour (or over the period of your dropouts). Ping both the Google server (8.8.8.8) and your own host. When you end the ping tests (ctrl+c) it prints some stats about packet loss and response time. Copy the stats for each host you pinged and post them here.

To add to this something like

ping -c 1000 8.8.8.8
ping -c 1000 {IP OF ROUTER}

Is a good comparative test.

I'm willing to bet you're not using a Linux/Unix based OS, so rather do this:

ping -n 1000 8.8.8.8 > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\google_test.txt
ping -n 1000 your.router.address > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\router_test.txt

-c param does something very different in the Windows ping util.


The ping logs will hopefully show you which hosts drop and where the issue lies. Post the files from these tests here if you want me to check them out.

I actually am using purely *nix based shells which is probably why I remembered it wrong way round. :)

The quick Google clearly didn’t work properly.
 
I have seen this issue happen before it was caused by a bad switch and two xbox one's. Run a long ping to the router.
