Dear tech community, I have recently decided to join everyone in this very smart and interesting place.
Now about my issue, I gladly welcome the brave who are actually taking the time to read this because this problem I have because it just doesn't seem to make sense. I have a pretty good base when it comes to internet, routers, modems etc..
What happenned was that out of blue one morning I woked up to play call of duty online on my ps3 and I was laggin alot. Seeing that my kill death ration was plumeting I decided to reset my router and my modem. After doing this the problem was still going on so I decided to plug my Ps3 directly into my modem and the problem stoped. After checking that this problem was consistent to all the electronics in my house including my pc mac and android phone. I decided to call my service provider who is Videotron. Now videotron sent a tech guy over to check the lines outside but after a good checkup they told me the problem was not from them because on their computers they could see that the internet was going into the modem perfectly. Wich is consistent to my story because when I am plugged directly in my modem there is no problem at all. Assuming that my router was the problem we decided to get a new one even though the one we had was only like 7 months old. it was a netgear. Now we have one sponsored by our network provider it is a d-link. After installing the new router I realised that the problem was still there and now I really don't know what to do. So to help you guys figure this out with me I will describe what I have already tried and deducted from it.
- Ive tried changing the channels on my router.
-Ive checked to see if there were any new appliances in my house that could cause problems with the signal but there arent any. Also this is contradictory because prior to when the problem began I never had any problems of this sort.
- Ive reset the router and the modem.
- Ive checked if any wires werent working from my modem to my router and even changed them.
- My modem is new and the company says its fine.
- Ive done a speed test online ( my company made me do that every time i called.)
After all these attempts im still stuck with a choppy connection and for some reason Videotron can't find the problem. All they know is that the wire going into my modem is perfect and the connection from my modem is perfect. That means theres something wrong within the routers. But what could it be?
Please if you do have suggestions I would like to hear why I should try it because my nternet was fine 2 weeks ago. So anything about updating firmware and all that crap is useless.
Thank you very much, give me your thoughts.
