    Check the physical connection - A loose cable or cord can often be the cause of a connection problem. Make sure everything is securely connected to the wall and device. 3. Reboot your modem/router - Sometimes the old "turn it off and on again" approach actually does work! Just wait about five minutes before turning it back on to make sure ...

  3. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Packet loss in a TCP connection is also used to avoid congestion and thus produces an intentionally reduced throughput for the connection. In real-time applications like streaming media or online games, packet loss can affect a user's quality of experience (QoE).

  5. Network congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion

    Network congestion in data networking and queueing theory is the reduced quality of service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle. . Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connectio

  6. Digital telephone electrical interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_telephone...

    Electrical noise can disrupt DSL internet connections. [1] The interference can be detected as electrical impulses on the physical telephone line on which the internet connection operates. The noise causes interference which in turn causes a DSL modem to mount up CRC errors. This eventually causes DSL synchronisation to drop.

  7. Random early detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_early_detection

    Random early detection (RED), also known as random early discard or random early drop, is a queuing discipline for a network scheduler suited for congestion avoidance. [ 1 ] In the conventional tail drop algorithm, a router or other network component buffers as many packets as it can, and simply drops the ones it cannot buffer.

  8. Cable tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tester

    Current is passed down the connection. If there is current the connection is assumed to be good. This type of test can be done with a series combination of a battery (to provide the current) and a light bulb (that lights when there is a current). A resistance test. A known current is passed down the connection and the voltage that develops is ...
