i wonder what would happen if you replaced the hitron with, oh, i don't know, a bowl of mashed potatoes. or some other router, configured the same way as the hitron. imagine if your problems vanished!

that's odd. I feel like the duplex mode would not cause connection issues like that. typically auto-negotiate functions just fine. In fact, for a standard home connection there really isn't any reason to ever change it.

It's a router issue most probably.

Just get some decent gear instead like an Edgerouter X router and a Unify AP AC Lite for example.

Just stop using consumer crap.

After you changed to full duplex the issue was resolved for all devices connected via LAN? Or was it just fixed for that one computer?

pick one device to troubleshoot. replace the network cable with known good cat6, check the ethernet ports on your router and device for bent pins, set a static ip, leave a continuous ping running to the router and check for drops, test with another router if you have one or backup the config then reset and firmware on your router

It's weird as hell though. I used the router just fine for years - no issues!

Change to new chinese crap modem; suddenly issues!

Shaw doesn't want to acknowledge there is any problem with their modem. If you look up reviews for the Hitron online it's abundantly clear the modem is complete shit, but Shaw refuses to replace them.

desu if I hadn't fixed the problem by changing duplex mode and magically getting a stable connection as a result I'd have probably canceled my service with them, even eating the cancellation fee. An internet connection that breaks every 30 seconds is 100% fucking useless.

Your shitty modem can't handle your blazing 150mbps.
When it gets below 100, your modem works.

It's probably not the modem which is causing you problems since you can fix the issue on the router.
It could be that your router has an issue with the new speed you're getting.
Anyway consumer crap is consumer crap. Just get some cheap business gear like I suggested and you'll never have a dumb network issue on your side unless you mess it up yourself.

I'll spend some time today looking for new routers; I wouldn't mind replacing the one I have at the moment anyways.

sauce on that pic?

You should look at Ubiquiti, Mikrotik and pfSense.
Cisco and some other Enterprise gear is also great but probably too expensive.
The Edgerouter X and Unifi Ap Ac Lite combo I suggested is a good combo since it's under $150 though there are more options available. Just stop using consumer crap.

Hijacking the Thread to ask my own questions:

How does subnetting work? I now there are 3 (major) IP classes. Does a subnet get called with the net-id and then forwards the connection to the appriopriate subnet or does every network has a public subnet-mask?

So basically how do other computers know how to communicate with you if you use a subnet mask different from the ip-classes.

I'm checking a few out. I'm in canuckistan though, so prices aren't as good as you get in the states.

>>61321254
I'm also not from the States though I generally post their prices. However if it's more expensive in you're country the alternatives are too so it's probably a good deal.

If the subnet is too small it won't recognize ip's outside the subnetmask and if it's bigger it will simply recognize the ip.
