Hello, I have the router for about 2 months and it worked perfectly and it was the best router I ever had, but in the past few days I get severe packet loss and online gaming is impossible for me now, while general use is basically “fine”.
I have a 1Gbps/100Mbps fiber which is connected to the router using an OLT I got from my ISP.
I had network accelration off and used SQM with cake, bufferbloat gave me a result of A+ even while the packet losses occured.
after factory resetting it seems like it was fixed but returned briefly after a few hours, now even after a factory reset it seems the issue still occurs, I tried without SQM and enabling network acceleration which did not help at all.
cpu temps and memory usage were always fine there was no sign of overheating or memory leaks.
I currently use a different router I had before and it there is 0 packet losses for now.
while pinging to the flint 2 ip from my pc which is connected directly to the router i often got spikes in the pings(over 100ms at times).
I still want to use the router again but its currently impossible for me.
If you didn't made any big change like using vpn in conjunction with sqm.
, and you use ethernet.
Can you try to win+r and type in devmgmt.msc and run it as administrator.
Then scrolldown where the network adapters are, double click the current adapter the port is connected to, then go to properties, or advanced settings and look on the left dropdown if there is something called green ethernet, or something similar and try to disable it.
Let me know if that changes something.
I learned that especially realtek nics have some issues with green ethernet implementations on the Flint 2.
I also learned on the OpenWrt github that this issue was there a long time and also occasionally got back because also on the upstream linux things got fixed and then things got reverted and reintroduced, it should be fixed there now.
But for the MTK SDK I have my doubts all patches are there present, I can't awnser that for sure only GL-iNet can.
my adapter is in device manager is called intel ethernet controller I225-V, I am connected using a lan cable straight to the router.
Also, apparently my previous started doing the same issue too, I have noticed that when I disconnect the LAN cable that is connected to my living room to a MoCA adapter the issue disappears completely, it seems that one of the cable screws there was loosened, its currently seems that the connection is now stable and i have no spikes to my router now, but I usually had times where the connection is stable and then it came back so I’ll keep monitoring now
