F5s ping question

[gazzaull22]

Hi all

Ive been having this problem for a little while and i have decided to get to the bottom of whats going on!

ive got aj latest update along with the new firmware for the f5 box .

all channels work as they should

but im getting alot of scrambling glitching etc

i know that this could be down to alot of other issues but having narrowed it down to either my internet connection or a router issue or even an issue with the input to my f5 box then im looking for a little help

my setup is as follows

zyxel amg1302-t10b router
hardwired connection from this router to f5 box(new cables etc )

in my network options on the f5 DHCP is on and the ip is showing 192.168.001.036

i used my laptop to ping this ip address?(laptop on same network as the sky f5)

if i ping 192.168.001.036 i get a different response to pinging 192.168.1.36 (without the zeros added)
question is which one do i ping???
the only one i can get anything off is the 192.168.1.36

i have pinged this 3 times and got the following



ping 192.168.1.36

The ping test your doing is only testing your home network not the internet ie laptop - router - f5s
you need to ping an external address to find out your ping speed, use Google and even better your providers address.

Here's my ping results for you to compare;

C:\Windows\system32>ping ##.##.##

As you can see my returns are quicker from my provider than from google

You've got 3 different results, can you turn off your f5s and anything else that uses the internet and ping Google (need www. address as forum shortens it) and post results.

[gazzaull22]

so ive unplugged everything from the router and turned off anything wifi apart from this laptop im using now

results from Google(i pinged x3 times )

You ping results seem ok both Google and provider, however, my only concern is 2 of your providers results are poor (Max 157 & 246). This won't cause glitches at present but if your provider is heavily loaded and at peaks ie footy match on, this could overload and cause glitches
