Packet Loss; Can't Fix!

[croSSeduP]

I play Quake Live and for a long time I have been getting connection interruption issues. My connection is good, my ping is good, but someone suggested that I might be having packet loss. I tried an online test to see what the sitch is with my packets, and sure enough, that part of the test could not be run. I tried turning off my firewall, I made sure that I had Java Script running (I use Google Chrome), and still no-go. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. Anybody?

Tried updating your network drivers? Are you running wired or wireless? What router do you have? Have you tried plugging directly into the modem rather than into the router first to see if you still have lost packets?

Try running WinMTR and ping the game servers, it's pretty much a pathping and will help determine where your losing data at.

Wireless.
What router do you have?

The way my network is set up this isn't really possible.
Suggestions?

Open up Device manager, expand Network Devices, check the brand/model of both ethernet and wireless network cards. Go to the brand manufacturers' websites, download/install the latest drivers from their sites.

Wireless.

Tried wired?

Eh? How is it not possible? Run ethernet cable from PC directly to modem and see if you still have packet loss issues. If not, then issue lies with the router. If so, then it's either the modem or something with your PC.

The problem appears to be with Google Chrome. I read, in short, that Chrome no longer supports Java. I ran a packet loss test with I.E. and Javascript enabled, and it finally did the test properly and showed no packet loss at all. Isn't that interesting...

Quake Live is still lagging out so bad that it is unplayable. I am at the end of my rope with this. I don't even know browser QL uses? In any case, ANY packet loss test online I try to use in Chrome does not work.

Didn't know they were dropping support. Specifically, they're dropping NPAPI, a really old framework. You can reenable it for now, but Support will officially end in September. I'm fine with it... Java is a big source of security holes, just like Flash.

Alright, I downloaded/installed this. I don't know how to ping the game servers, though...

Should be able to find the servers' IP's (or at least an address) through the game's server browser somehow.
