I can't read what you are pasting there. Go to WinMTR – Free Network Diagnostic Tool and grab that and redo it with that and put new information into the post.

If only, if only.

Blizz has their own tool called Looking Glass, I did the MTR test:

as an aside, today (first day since Friday) internet has been acting normally. We'll see if it holds.

Your packet loss is all over the map. Like everything has significant packet loss. They really screwed up on this "upgrade" they did is the best I can tell you.

@consensus I don't have any personal experience with TP-link stuff but it seems okay. The archer 2600 from them is dual core and offers a bit better performance spec for 25 bucks more.

Powerline over Ethernet, any advice on make and models and wether they work or not seems like the more I read about them it's hit or miss depends on the house? thanks in advance.

They get the job done as long as your infrastructure cooperates. Just try it out from a place that you can return them to. In 4 houses I've never had them not work yet.

So Amazon. Alright thanks. I'll give it a try tired of my mother complaining about her smarttv buffering I'll order one and go install it for her

I use the TP Link GigE ones in a few spots here and they work great. Unless you get the right model the actual port itself is only 10/100 even though the TP Link says it supports 500 mb/s. Not that it should matter, but just giving you a heads up.

I use Netgear old school, they claim up to 500 Mbps but I've never actually gotten that. Still, about 100 is fine. I think I've had it for about 4 years or so.

I really want to have some time one day to figure out what the encryption/pairing mechanism is that they have. I'm certain it's bullshit.

Yeah, mine have long maintained the scientific speed of 'whatever my wife is watching isn't buffering' so I've been happy with them.

pfsense trumps (no pun) all manufactured routers IMO, I still have them but only converted as access points.

Solid choice, the PoE is a nice option too. I have Ubiquiti for a long range WAP I use, they make good stuff.

Trying to help a friend out with his church network, and I schooled him this morning on what VLANs were and why he needed them... He's got Cisco switches, but all leading back to a consumer grade Asus router, and I was like bro, that's not going to cut it.

Recommendations for a enterprise router? I did a few searches on Amazon but wasn't impressed with much there.

Edit: Found this list... not sure I trust it, as it seems the top 10 are consumer grade routers, which would probably work fine for his application in terms of hardware, but what I was having issues with was VLAN setup on a consumer grade router.

Sounds like overkill for a church? Do they need gigabit to speak to the man upstairs? :)

I have a couple of the home office grade Cisco routers, they would certainly do the job supporting vlans, ipv6, as well as vpn

You would be surprised, my brother in law is a full time "Tech Pastor" for a church because of their livestreaming and other bandwidth/network needs.
