HIGH PING SPIKES AND PACKET LOSS

I am using a ARRIS DG2460 router and always get packet loss for both up and down ranging from 4-60% packet loss playing Fortnite. I also get ping spikes that last for minutes and they reach up to 1,100 ms.

  • Hi Krucifiction, your modem metrics are outside of our preferred range. Is there a splitter on the coax to the modem? I suggest bypassing (or replacing) the splitter and see if the latency improves. If it continues, I suggest a service call so an on-site technician can correct any signal deficiencies. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

      Yes I am using a splitter on the coax and I just ordered a new one which is coming tomorrow, hopefully this fixes the ping issue because I know the Fortnite packet loss is never going away ;)
