Please be aware that I get paid if you use my links. In case you need to plug in a wired connection, but only have USB ports available, USB to Ethernet adapters usually work well (even for the Nintendo Switch). Using Ethernet should guarantee a perfect connection. If a new adapter doesn't fix it, you could try using a new cable. You could try the OURLINK AC600 if you want something lower profile, although that would be weaker. If that does fix it, then try replacing your router or wireless card.įor new routers, I recommend the Linksys WRT AC3200 on the higher-end and the Belkin AX3200 on the lower-end.įor network cards, I recommend the Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I-it even supports Bluetooth! If for some reason you really can't use a PCIe card, I'd pick the TP-Link AC600. Try plugging your modem (or wherever your Ethernet connection comes from) directly into your computer if possible. See if it works on other computers on your network. Or you could buy more bandwidth from your ISP if that's an option for you. If your usage is high compared to your maximum bandwidth, try using less and see if that fixes the packet loss.
On Ubuntu or Mint, you can also open System Monitor and check the Resources.If you're using Linux, you should probably be able to figure this out on your own. On Linux, there are many tools you might want to use such as bmon, slurm, tcptrack, ifotp, nethogs, speedometer, iptraf, and a ton more.On MacOS, open Activity Monitor and check the Network tab.On Windows, open Performance Monitor and check the Network tab or open Task Manager and check the Performance tab.Checking on the router is the best option as it has the advantage of showing all devices connected to the network. Usually this is at 192.168.1.1 or maybe 192.168.0.1, but how exactly that all works varies a lot by router. Compare your current bandwidth use some way:.Run a speed test to find your max bandwidth, probably either on Speedtest or.You also might check if you are using too much bandwidth: Try doing more tests with smaller sizes and less frequent packets to see if it works well with less intense usage. Maybe that will help convince your ISP too.įirst, make sure you're not just overtaxing your connection. However, you can troubleshoot your issue anyway to make sure it's not your fault. If this is the case, there's nothing you can do about it other than convincing your ISP to fix their issue (often a daunting task) or to switch ISPs (sadly not an option for many). Honestly, I get the impression that packet loss is usually the fault of Internet service providers (ISPs). How one fixes packet loss depends upon what is causing the packet loss.
