normally if a 10 year old driver works i'd be ok - let it ride .. But knowning how often realtek does update and squish bugs i'd say update to 2025

https://www.asus.com/uk/motherboards-components/moth...

I have now updated new version from Asus latest driver for network. Going to try one speed test now via speedtest.net

Nope bad news

Its the same high spiked again. I think it badly by AMD Processor or Asus Board.

There is no spiked on Intel i7 2700K. Only AMD 3700x. How odd?

upload is returned 112ms on AMD. you will see on TBB BQM live share with high spiked

Look like there is nothing more I can think of?

Oh well, I have to forget about upload spiked. Just get on with it. Maybe Intel PC are lots better but I don't get it at all of why AMD does spiked on upload speed (just one single speedtest)

BQM pings the router, your pc would be unaffected. Devices saturating the router would then affect latency.

From memory you have two tp-link routers ........... which is being used atm and is causing the spikes - or are both causing it ?

Erm I don't know if it makes much of a difference and I am not sure how you have your setup configured but my PN Hub 2 is the point to respond to pings for the TBB Monitor. This takes my PCs out of the equation and using NOIP on the PN Hub. Maybe you could try enabling pings on your router?

Both routers still the same spiked on AMD. No difference really.

My router is respond to pings is enabled below

Respond to Pings from LAN: Enabled

Respond to Pings from WAN: Enabled

Also my router is set on DNS below:

Primary DNS:
8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS:
1.1.1.1

I am not sure what is NO-IP? See here: https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/176858092539...

With Aquiss you may have a static IP address, so your BQM is pinging you. With other ISPs (e.g. plusnet) you would have to use a dynamic DNS provider such as www.no-ip.com that the router updates with the IP and you tell the BQM the name.

If Aquiss give you static IP and IPv6 then good reason to stay with them.

My full fibre got load of packet loss now and slow speed tonight. Very very disappointed. . 15.4ms packet loss slow speed this evening 578Mbps instead of 930Mbps. Just awful.

My G.fast never get any slow speed over the last 12 months with Cerberus. Same with Aquiss FTTC. Very strange as it shouldn't be on full fibre. Rather annoyed now.

Might not be anything to do with your local loop (your FTTP, or ADSL or GFast) but the other side of the internet provider out to the internet. Check with Aquiss when they are available; see if its just you or many customers. Could be they have a fault elsewhere.
