I have a Linksys router and I'm using spectrum. Um, it's a spectrumVoomgateway, which sounds like a attack, but it's a little bit more secure, uh, little trojan that comes with each and every router. I'm not sure, uh, why it makes sense for me not to have a person's full privacy. And so I'm not sure why people would enable the basic gateway on every single network with a Linksys router, and so I'm trying to, um, how to eliminate Voomgateway. Yeah, that's the first part, but then there is another thing that I have access to the internet from two different numbers, uh, which is kind of weird. It's like a different area code, area code is 805 which is Thousand Oaks, and so somehow, somewhere, I have a Thousand Oaks IP address which shouldn't be possible because I'm not located there. I'm in the 818/800 region.

modem for my internet and all of a sudden I'm having like packet loss issues um with the device that I'm connecting through Ethernet. I just got off the phone with Spectrum. They said that my signal is perfect, uh that everything looks as it should and they're claiming that the issue has to be the router. [silence] So they told me to call you guys. [silence] Uh, yes, it's it's a device called the Comrex Bricklink 2, uh sorry, Bricklink 3. Um, and I I use it for a radio show that I do and I connect from here to to the radio network and they're telling me that they're seeing packet loss um happening and I'm sending an audio feed through there.

Mm-hm. I see. Alright, thank you for all the information. May I know what device that is connected by ethernet into the lynxess router that's having packet loss?
01:00
Speaker 1
So, that's, like, causing a problem. [silence] Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I've been using it this way for two years and haven't had any issues. I thought it was Spectrum because they changed the they came into the neighborhood and did some type of upgrade, um, and and that changed my IPD address. And uh um, they came by yesterday and they checked on some things and and they said that everything's perfect now. Um, but today, doing the show, they they had some people complaining that we were still having the same problem happening. So, I'm trying to figure it out. All right. I think before that again and please reshare that. Yes. Uh, it's funny because I took a picture of that today. Um, okay.

Speaker 1
Yes I actually did it before the I actually did it before the show today just to to double check and uh unfortunately that didn't help right now the mic yeah Yes. Um I I can't tell for sure. Um because I'm I use two devices similar, like one's like an older model and and this one that I'm having issues in newer model. And the older one is how I connect to my host the the
05:00
Speaker 2
tried reboot like boot up the router and the modem I see got it and uh huh okay got it um right now the light in front of the router is it showing solid blue light okay got it and just to verify how about other device like connected to Wi-Fi is it experiencing the same issue or just this one it's connected wired [silence] [silence] [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
this on the show and that one, as far as I can tell by listening, everything sounds fine. You know, it doesn't sound like we have any type of like drops or or audio, you know, issues there. Um, and they're they're within a few feet of each other. It's also on an ether cable. Um, so I don't know. My laptop that I use for the show that's connecteth cable. And as far as I can tell, like there are no issues going on there. Um, but I mean, I don't know if I would see anything if I'm doing like just regular browsing and stuff like that if I would notice packet loss, you know, when I'm doing something like that with a laptop. So, All right, thank you.
06:00
Speaker 2
All right. Thank you. And for that case, since this is the only device we're having issues with, it's connected wired to the router, what we can check is to optimize its settings to optimize its settings, like reset some.

Okay understand huh. Okay. How about this we have another option. We can send you an article guide how to optimize some settings on your router to help improve the connection of your wired device. And you can follow this step and I'm going to send it to your email. You'll be receiving it 5 to 10 minutes. And also if in the event that it's still this same might be that you can try last resort is like you reset the router back to factory settings and set it up again. That's also another isolation if it's something to do with the router, if it's still the same [silence]
