Hey everyone,
Since I've bought a new router 2 weeks ago, I've got an issue, which I've been fighting against day and night, but just can not really find out what causes the problem. The situation is:
Every minute, or a minute and a half, my internet connection just stops, gets back again, stops and gets back again (this process happening in under a second) --> here's a picture to show you how it looks in-game:
Of course two yellos bars come on top as well, but that line is running faster.
Since I have a cable net, I called the ISP to ask whats up with them (but since this is so periodical, and this started since I bought a new router I already had doubts about that). Then an electrician from the ISP came, to check if its something to do with the modem. The internet, runs perfectly fine bypassing the router, connecting straight to the modem. Then this week Wednesday I've went back to where I bought the router, told them my problem. They've brought it for servicing, and today they told me, the router was wrong by factory , and they gave me a brand new one from the same type of router ( TP-Link WR940N v2 ). I installed it, hoped for a smooth internet, and BOOM, same periodical lag again.
This really can not be felt during browsing the net or something, but during gaming, this annoys the sh*t out of me. Concretely in ET the game just stops for that 2 moment, really, really annoying.
If anyone was kind enough to read my problem, and has some experience around this field, I'd be thankful for any ideas you may come up with.
Cheers!

close everything running expect for windows and et might be just some programm running in backround i had something similar with a software for my printer, only ET was affected -.-
doubt its the modem/router since u changed it
1. have you tried entering into the routers settings page and play with the port forwarding?
2. do you have any wireless security on ?
3. do you have a big penis?
2. Yeah there is a security on wireless : WPA/WPA2 - Personal(Recommended) with a name and pass, but I'm connected via cable.
3. I'm well endowed.
get gargoyle, problem solved
and never ever use tp link firmware again pls.-
update/downgrade firmware and it should be ok
when i had this problem i had to upgrade tho
If you want to flash one of them, make sure you know what you are doing.
actually i have this problem with ts3. I suppose to change my router to fix my problem.
Like adze said, try to upgrade/downgrade the current firmware. You should also check the router's menu and just disable every service that might be running and causing these lags. If you disabled everything and its still lagging then ye, change firmware, or just buy another router :o
