    Hi @Abdaniel
    I know how frustrating it is to have packet loss. I have run a ping test on your modem and I get 0% packet loss. I have checked your network and there are no outstanding issues in your area. Are there any splitters or amplifiers that are connected to the coaxial that is screwed into the back of your modem? If so can you please bypass any splitters/amplifiers and plug it directly into the wall from the modem?
