Solve : Internet Connection Confilct? |
|
Answer» GOOD day! Hey, I just wanna ask for help about my internet connection. Sometimes my internet speed is fast but most of the time, it doesn't LOAD any web pages completely. I think I have a problem with my DNS Server or IP Address, but all of these are set to "Obtain Automatically" and I don't have any idea on solving this problem. My browser is Google Chrome, the updated version. Actually I don't have a problem with my computer, just my internet connection or router. My router's Linksys Cisco E1200 with the latest firmware. Please help, thank you!You said: Quote Sometimes my internet speed is fast...That means your equipment does work good and DNS is not the issue. DNS allures bring up an error message. And you sent on to say that often it is slow and does not load fully. This would more likely be a problem with your provider. This can happen in DSL nor cable service. Have you talked to tech support with your local service provider?I'd contact your ISP and have them perform a loopback test to verify that the connection between you and your ISP is good. They will be able to see signal strength and problems should be detected if its a Home Modem to ISP issue. Other things that can cause problems are if other users are connected and eating up massive amounts of bandwidth downloading and or streaming video at the same time etc. * I ENDED up setting up a QoS configuration in my router that I flashed with DD-WRT so that no one device can choke off adequate bandwidth to other devices. I also dedicated an allocation of bandwidth to the Vonage VoIP hardware when the phone is in use and at the same time 2 systems are on netflix etc. I would also perform a ping test between your local hardware and outbound and look for problems. open command shell by entering CMD at start -> Run or Start -> Search Programs and Files and enter ipconfig This will show info, now take the gateway IP and ping that such as PING 192.168.1.1 and verify that it has fast speed in low ms response time and is not 100ms or greater or lost pings. Next now that you KNOW your local network at home is good ( hopefully ), you ping outbound such as at PING www.google.com -t The -t will create a persistant ping so it will keep pinging until ended by CTRL + C orclosing the shell window. But the response times on a healthy connection to the internet with no one else eating up bandwidth should be less than 200ms during a busy part of the day when everyone is hitting google to as low as around 20ms when most people are sleeping etc. * This is one reason why I enjoy the internet at night better than during the day, its faster with less traffic conjestion. * If you see lost ping packets such as No Response and numbers in ms that are high and jumping around then you have a problem and its outboard to the ISP which is connected to the site such as Google through a backbone to the internet. If all looks well, but the system is STILL misbehaving then its a local problem with the computer itself. As far as DNS goes, I do not use the DNS provided by my ISP, as for it lags ( Comcast ) and so I use OpenDNS instead and have my router configured to use one of 2 DNS servers through OpenDNS and have had no problems with that free DNS service. |
