Packet loss
« on: September 09, 2009, 10:17:26 AM »

I have a MacBook (13-inch Mid 2007). Every 4th or 5th web page I go to in Safari I get a Loading for a min or so then I reload the page and things are fine again.

My airport connection shows all bars. When I look at the Network Utility I see that I have had 7% dropped. Thinking that my Dlink 655 (f/w 1.32) router was to blame I changed the config from 802.11n to 802.11g. That did not seem to help same issue.

I have tried everything I can think of re-setting up my wireless network, removing and recreating the Airport connection. I am using RR with a 2.0MB connection.

Anyone see this same issue?

No. But you could be suffering from either a DNS issue (ISP) or general connection problem. You can try to set OpenDNS as your default DNS server.

Would I do that on my mac or on my router? On my mac I am using 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 as DNS servers. I think the router is using my ISPs DNS servers. I don't have anything static on the router DNS wise.

If you specified DNS on your MAC that overrules the router setting. See if settng the OpenDNS addresses fixes it. Otherwise, try to hook up the MAC to the modem directly to eliminate other sources.
