hey guys,

so ive felt like my internet hasn't been responsive as it usually is as of lately,before youtube vids would instantly load in full 1080p now it loads in 340/480 then eventually 1080p.

So i ran a ping test through the superhub control panel to googles servers and it reported back a 33% packet loss.

is there something wrong with my connection? i know nothing about networking.

appreciate any help. :)

Yes, this is a problem.
Are you testing with a wired or wireless connection?
Get yourself a network cable and plug directly into your router - I then like to use a command prompt and run a continuous PING against a Google DNS server:

ping 8.8.8.8 -t

Are you still getting packet loss now you've removed wireless from the connection?
