Packet Loss when Gaming
When I game there's always a hiccup of lag when I'm playing every few seconds. Here's a screenshot of my pingplotter during some gaming, is the hop at 7 indicative of something wrong? Using a Netger ...

I actually did it on a wired connection. I'm not sure how to ping the video game server, as I play a lot on netplay through traversal servers.
What videogames do you normally experience issues with? I would recommend locating the IP Address of the game server you're playing on and performing a traceroute to that specific IP Address. If latency or packet loss takes place on a server that does not belong to Cox Communications, this would be outside the scope of our troubleshooting. Your modem levels look solid, and I'm not seeing any packet loss at this time. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
I play on something called traversal servers, so i'm not sure which ip to find to ping. I was able to play for the last 3 years but as of 6 months ago something changed. But here's just packet loss when doing a test to google.
The first hop has packet loss, does that mean something is wrong with the router?
