We tried 3 Mikrotik routers, 2 cable modems, and two radios from two different manufacturers.

Last time I had that problem was an inconsistent Ethernet connection. It wasn’t showing errors, but UDP was dropping packets. TCP retransmitted. UDP was screwy, but TCP was downloading at the limit of the wireless feed.

Not sure where to go from there since the other 12 don’t have a problem.

I see this sort of thing with the company I consult for. They’ll have me going through the router, trying to shut down the “virus” or peer to peer when it is thousands and thousands of retransmits and broken packets. Just like our wireless it can have good quality until loaded, then watch the quality drop to nearly nothing and loose connection.

It’s computer, 2011, cable modem, the world. I just can’t download anything from any sites. What’s weird is they just drop.

They used to have a problem with downloads stalling, but that was quite a few years ago. The fix was to disable SPI Firewall.

There is a Mikrotik router between the computer and the cable modem. Haven’t tested taking the router out yet but we have tried 2 routers, same results. Basically, downloads either don’t start or start and then just crash. Game machines can’t update, even downloading a 20MB file from netgear fails. Everything else seems to work. Any ideas would be helpful.
