D-Link DIR-655 :: Ridiculously Inconsistent Latency
Dec 23, 2012
we just switched to a DIR-655 from a terrible Rosewill router a few weeks ago. We've been having some problems, and I've been trying desperatly to figure out what exactly is causing them so I can fix it.
Problem:
The router will periodically, and seemingly at random, dive into huge latency spikes. As of writing this, I am running a one thousand ping latency run from CMD, and I've watched response times go from 15ms average to 300ms average. The time of day seems irrelevant, as is what anyone on the network is doing. After a fresh restart of the router, everything runs smoothly for about 10 minutes, at which point everything goes ham.
Details:
I am using a DIR-655 D-Link router with a Cisco DPC3008 modem provided by Comcast.
Router P/N: BIR655ANA....B1
Router S/N: F35F5BC0019A777
Router Firmware: 2.10NA
Connection Type: DHCP
I've run the Modem directly into my PC, the connection is perfect. I've hard resetted multiple times, as well as run it with all of the above settings on/off. Updating the firmware does nothing. I've moved the router/modem apart so as not to cause signal interference.
Things I Can Try
I want to try running the router with wireless disabled to see if some sort of interference is being caused by the other computers on the network, or if one of them is hogging bandwidth.
I want to try running a program that can monitor or analyze each stage of the connection to see where the problem is.
I want to downgrade to an earlier firmware.

I'm not the sole user of this computer, I woke up a few hours ago and my roommate tells me that the internet suddenly slowed down to a ridiculous speed, we haven't come close to exceeding the data usage from our provider. We use DSL broadband, not wireless. Some pages partially load, some pages do not load at all and some load completely but after a really long time. When I open a youtube vid a fraction of it loads before it stops, then when I click to skip a bit of the video the same problem happens (but sometimes the video completely loads...). I only use chrome but the speed is the same on IE and firefox as well.
Maybe a year or two ago, a computer guy installed all the antivirus things and programs necessary when we previously had problems. Not sure what it is....but an ESET Nod32 frame thing appears every time the computer starts for a few seconds so i assume (?) that this is our antivirus. Again, pretty much retarded computer-wise here haha. I find ESET nod32 in the start bar to see if maybe i can click it or run a scan or something but after I click it nothing happens at all....Not sure how relevant this is but this is the system info recommended by this website:

Bought a brand new Dell Inspiron 15r N5110 a week ago. I've looked through all the posts. I tried 3 different browsers, I updated drivers, firmware, BIOS, re-seated the wireless antennas under the memory module, even got a new router and modem changed settings on the router, yet still! Every solution I could find, I've executed but still have a wireless speed test yielding less than 1.0 mbps. My 4 year old laptop runs smooth, my iPad runs smooth, all other devices run smooth.

I have a Dell XPS 17 and I am having trouble with the wi-fi. It always connects and works, but is very inconsistent. It will speed up and slow down for no apparent reason. I ran a speed test and it will go from 40mbps to 2mbps. This does not happen on any other device connected to the wireless in the house. It does not happen when the laptop is connected directly. I also purchased a USB wireless adapter and do not have any problems when connecting wirelessly that way.A new modem and router have not changed the problem.I am 100% sure it is the wireless receiver in the laptop itself.

I'm renting accommodation, so I don't have direct access to the router etc.It's a Belkin (who I understand to be a pile of ****) router.The ping is mostly 6-8ms, but ~10% of the time it spikes to >100ms.This is way too high for a router right? Surely it should be like, 1ms.Wireless connection.It broadcasts two SSIDs (one is the other but with 5ghz appended).

I have a fairly large area to cover with wireless, and set up a second router to act as a repeater. The signal works great, other than being extremely inconsistent. Sometimes I get a speedtest of 18 ping and 7 mbps DL to a nearby server, and 10 seconds later it's 300 ping and 2 mbps. There are no problems when using the primary access point without the repeater. Where should I start in troubleshooting? I can't see why there would be such terrible consistency since much of the time the signal strength is fine. It's purely a problem of dropping the connection often.

I have full wi-fi signal and I have a fast broadband connection. Every now and again the connection speed to just one PC drops to a point where there is almost no activity. I get various "connection timed out" and "DNS lookup failed" errors, then after about 10 minutes of frustration everything works again. I know this problem is isolated to just this one PC as I have done Internet speed tests from another computer. I have tried using different wireless cards, resetting the router, changing DNS servers. Nothing has worked.

i have high speed internet from charter(i know they are not the best but more on that later) with actually download speeds tested online around 10-13mbps on average. i keep my computer pretty clean, running smart defrag, cleaning the disk, anti virus, only have programs running in the background that are needed, have increased my virtual memory and also use readyboost with a 4 gb flashdrive that i allow to use all the flashdrive memory as "ram" memory. so i think this has be something below the surface and that i cannot handle on my own. i do not think it is my internet provider because i have to roommates that have computer and they have no problem usually with the internet. when i say usually i mean they have problems sometimes maybe 3-4 times weekly where i have problems at least 2-3 times a day.

I had a power surge caused by the local electrical provider on February 3, 2011. Since then my computer power source was replaced and the computer works okay. Since the power surge my speed to uploading and downloading on the internet is inconsistent. Time Warner, my internet provider, said it was an internet problem and they replaced the modem, and have worked on their lines multiple times and now say it's a computer problem, not with their wiring. Yesterday I could not get an upload or download signal at all. This morning my download was 29.23 and upload 1.91. Some days it will take 4-5 yours to send an e-mail. I don't know what to do.

My laptop is connected to an Internet cable inside my apartment building for access to a free Internet service provided by the building management.The high speed cable service works okay for a few days but then after say 4 or 5 days it starts to slow down and then on the 6th or 7 day I can no longer connect using the cable. The technician in my building doesnt speak such good English and claims it is a software problem in Windows itself in my laptop ,but I don't know what would cause the software to trigger this condition?The last time the technician told me to go through some steps but I have to admit I have forgotten the very last ones in the " procedure " and how to complete the final steps of the procedure :-
He said to :-
1. Right click on the computer icon on the desktop
2. click on device manager
2. click on " network adapters " these are shown as being " Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller ( NDIS 6.20 ) and secondly " Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11 PCI-E NIC "
4. After that he told me to " refresh " the connection but I have forgotten how to do so?The wireless connection is working okay but I have noticed once this fault happens to the cable connection, the wireless connection doesn't work either until I unplug the cable. Then I can connect to the wireless Internet connection. But if I leave the cable in then neither the cable or the wireless works?

My internet, after a few seconds of working right, craps out on me and I cannot figure out why. I am tempted to purchase a new adapter.My ISP is Comcast, I'm using T1, and I run AVG.

For months now, my ping has been randomly spiking at an inconsistent rate. I can be good for an hour, and down for a week. My usual ping is a solid 15, but it has gone as high as 1000. I've gotten a new modem, and that has changed the problem a little bit(I no longer suffer extreme download and upload loss when my ping drops) but I have yet to find a fix for the problem.

My company just bough me another Dell Latitude 6530 with Dell wireless 1540 half card previously I am using Dell Latitude 6520 with Intel Centrino Ultimate N 6300 without any problem
but this new Dell 6530 wifi connection is pretty slow and inconsistent -- I may got burst of high speed / performance for few seconds but pretty much all time is slow.I ran both the old 6520 and new 6530 side by side as I am transferring file and downloading new software, so I can tell for sure that this new 6530 has some issues.
1. Update the drivers for Dell wireless 1540 using this link [URL]
2. Set the power management to high performance, disable power management for the wireless card as well
3. Turn off "Allow computer to save power" in the wireless card adapter settings

Webpages sometimes load quite sluggish and when playing an online game I am experiencing much more lag. However, if I try loading the same webpages a few minutes later, they will being loading fast again. It seems as if my internet is periodically slowing down. Using speedtest.net, it shows 10Mbps download and 9Mbps upload. However, sometimes when I run speedtest again, the download portion will hang and the test won't complete.My internet provider is COX Communications. I do not think I am using a router as it is university provided internet so I connect my Ethernet directly into the wall jack.

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a few weeks ago my wireless connection started to become inconsistent, it would randomly drop service or be very slow, and now it has become very inconsistent and slow, all the while the wireless signal would be 4-5 bars.On my windows 7 desktop, often times the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark pops up over the signal strength indicator when its at 4-5 bars.I've tried changing to 2 different routers and its the same, and the problem is persistent for all computers in the house.I've connected directly via ethernet to the modem and router and service was fine.There are a few wireless networks in the area,some with quite strong signals, but I downloaded the xirrus wifi inspector and it says I'm not sharing a channel (channel 1) and though I'm ~15ft from the router, the signal is ~65dbm, which seems low and is almost equivalent to neighbor's wireless strength.

I have created 7 QuickVPN users on router and on QuickVPN client. They all work except two. Have deleted and reinstalled on router and in QuickVPN to no avail. Changing the user name by one letter works (eg user NameVPN doesn't work, but NameVP does). Somehow router (I think) is not releasing user credentials/policies (which seems to agree with log). I have rebooted router.

I have a problem with my isa570. Ever since I started using it it sometimes takes me two or three clicks to get a website to load. Also connecting to iTunes is almost impossible. It does work sometimes but then very slowly. I have switched off application control.

I've multiple FWSMs running. The funny thing: When I do a "show resource usage" I have one blade showing a "Conns [rate]" and "Syslogs [rate]" values and one blade isn't.
SSH 4 5 15 0 admin
Syslogs [rate] 1 437 unlimited 0 admin
Conns 149 23465 unlimited 0 admin
Xlates 154 2877 unlimited 0 admin
Hosts 154 2877 unlimited 0 admin
Mac-addresses 6 7 65535 0 admin
All modules are running the same software version 3.2(10).And the even more funny thing is: on one blade I have different output for all the contexts on it.What's the reason for that behaviour? A bug?

I have two switches claiming to be the root bridge for the same vlans. The 3750-X stack was configured to be the root for vlans present and the 2960S was brought online over the weekend to replace another one. This is the command I used to attempt and make the 3750-X stack the root
spanning-tree vlan 1-2,10,50,101,200,900,999 root primary diameter 4
The IOS converted that to this

Wireless card is Dell Wirele4ss 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card
Each time I try to launch the Dell WLAN Utility I get a message:
"Internal configuration is inconsistent. Please restart the machine to resolve the problem."
Restarting does not solve the problem.
The wireless card connects fine with Windows managing the connection. But what about the Dell Utility? What can be done so it will launch and I can let it manage the wireless connections?
I have reinstalled the Driver and utility using R115319.EXE

I play an online game, and latency is critical. I usually play at one server, and typically I get around 100ms ping. Today, when I joined the server I noticed my ping is now 40-45ms. My IP has not changed, internet service has not changed, service of server has not changed. It's almost as if the latency *just got better*. I know there are probably a huge number of factors regarding this, but I'm wondering how I could investigate this. Preferably, I'd like to keep my latency at 40ms, but I have no idea how it got there.

I run windows 7 on a Gateway DX4860 desktop and my problem has been occurring for a long time. I casually play games like league of legends and I believe my problem lies within my computer rather than the network itself because my problem is latency spikes where when I start games with 90 ping, it quickly spikes to 300+ ping ~ 5 minutes into the game and then into the thousands making it absolutely unplayable. I have had this problem on 3 different internet providers and the problem still remains; HOWEVER, while hooked directly to my computer with an Ethernet cord, I have ZERO problems. The house I am living at now doesn't allow me to connect directly.

I have reason to be suspicious as to the game's relevance. These spikes are characterized by no packet loss, as measured by pingplotter and winmtr (more specifically, there is packet loss, but I've come to understand that because it does not continue on to subsequent jumps it's not an issue), and latency leaping to between 250 and 600ms across multiple hops, seemingly without pattern or form, for intervals
Here are some summaries of some extended pingplotter sessions. The suspicion that this is not entirely WoW related is recent, so I'm working on seeing if I can get similar results from some other sources.

Over the last couple of weeks I've been noticing high amounts of jitter and latency over my home network. I've come to some conclusions but am not 100% sure if they are correct or not.When one computer on the network opens a web page, loads a video off youtube or downloads something all of the computers on the network have considerably increased latency for a short period.I've tested 3 computers over WiFI watching ping commands and will show some below in a moment. Tested 1 computer using ethernet to connect to the router and its still affected by the issue. Ive also actually used the router to ping an outside source while the ping is increased and this is also affected. This has only been happening for the last 2 weeks.
Heres a list of hardware being used/software and os.
Windows 7 with a Belkin G enabled usb NIC
Windows XP with a realtek rtl8139/810x
Windows 7 (Friends laptop)
Router = Netgear dg834g

So I've read up on QoS and understand that my router doesnt support it but I still dont understand how 1 person using youtube can affect my network that much. As before 2 weeks ago it did not affect it what so ever, and it didnt in my old house either. So what this means is that browsing is fine on the network, just whenever you try and play a game or anything that requires low latency anyone touching the network means you get massive jitter.

Start PC.Login to Windows.Programs start. (Only Steam and Windows programs, nothing else.)PC runs normally, and starts with low DPC.After several hours of running I check the DPC and it is much higher at a constant rate.After keeping PC on all night I wake up and the DPC is way high in the yellows and reds with audio popping.Restart PC, rinse and repeat all the above.I've turned off every device that would have any confliction with this. (Also I am connected through Ethernet and I am using onboard sound. My mobo is M2N SLI-Deluxe)

When I play games that are downloaded to my PC from Aeria games I run into intermittent latency. It happens every 6 minutes and last for about 4 minutes so for every ten minutes I get to play about 6 minutes. It only happens with Aeria games; all of them.Is this an issue with my connection to the server or is it possible that it is due to security software?

About two days ago my latency to games and when I ping sites such as google I would have about 20-30ms more than usual. But my ping is steady and doesnt fluctuate, so say I would normally have 70ms to a game server I would now get 100 or so. I have tried all the standard things such as as resetting my router but to no avail. Also nobody else is on the connection only me. Normally I would ping google and get a 19-21ms response time and now im getting about 36-38 screenshot below.

So I am at a bit of a loss here. For the past week or so, I have been getting random spikes of high latency in online games like World of Warcraft/Star Wars: The Old Republic/League of Legends/etc and I have no idea what could be causing it. My ping used to run around 30-80 and lately is has been spiking from 100 to over 700 randomly. I have tried everything I could think of like not using my router, power cycling my modem several times, making sure my drivers are updated, no programs in the background causing it, no firewalls/anti-virus programs causing it, and several other little things like that. I have also called my ISP and they said everything seems to be working fine. And here's another weird thing, according to speedtest.net, my service is running as it should be: [URL]. The server my service is connecting to is in the next town over which is ~15 minutes away so that couldn't be it either.
Here is my system specs:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 4

my latency values are extremely high, sometimes millions(!) of microseconds. THe problem is always solved by disconnecting the 11b/g wireless LAN adapter, or the Intel(R) Gigabit Network connection. However, I can't work without internet.

I've got a new PC which is now about 4-5 weeks old. It worked great in the first 2-3 weeks, but then the network connection started to be unstable. That means that the connection is lost regularly (in intervals between 15 seconds an several minutes). After it is lost there's an immediate reconnection attempt, which usually is successful. So the connection downtime is mostly inbetween 2-10 seconds. Now that does bother me pretty badly. Especially in online games this leads to many disconnects or lagspikes of up to 10 seconds.
The connection losses always come paired with DPC latency spikes.I switched the LAN cable just to be sure. I updated all drivers (including BIOS). I deactivated all eligible components in the device manager one by one. The only thing I found out: If I disable the network adapter, the latency spikes are gone. But that doesn't work because the connection is gone too. For that network adapter I tried different drivers, various versions from Shuttle and also the latest original driver by Realtek.

As of late whenever I, or any of my roommates, browse the internet we have noticed a slower browsing experience, where pages used to load instantly, there is now a noticeable delay in accessing web pages. Also, in playing online video games, whether it be on the PlayStation 3 or PC gaming, high latency is always present. The problem is present whether there is one computer connected, or five, Mac or PC, Wireless a/b/g/n or if connected through the ethernet port. What I ask is: What causes such behavior, and what can I do, if anything, to resolve this issue?

I have one hub router connected to an ISP cloud and then a spoke router connected to the same ISP cloud. There is a dmvpn connection from the spoke to the hub router and i have attempted to do a few tests from the spoke to the hub router.
When i do a ping from the wan interface (tunnel source) of the spoke router to the wan interface (tunnel source) of the hub router i get a return time of about 700ms on the average. However when i ping from the LAN of the spoke to the LAN side of the HUB, my return time increases to 1000ms and sometimes as high as 3000ms. I suspect the hughes modem HN7700 on the wan side of my spoke to be the cause of the problem.
