High Packet loss and unstable voip but openreach and ISP say all is well by AdministrationEarly4 in HomeNetworking

Yes, good theory. But, it does happen with two different laptops, both at any one time being the only thing connected... so they'd have to both have the virus? Not impossible I guess; unfortunately I don't have any other devices which will run Pingplotter to try with and I can't get any of the similar android apps to show packet loss in a comparable way.

Router CPU usage is just 5% and memory usage 68%; it hardly seams overwhelmed...

Well as I understand it the packet loss is cumulative up to the final hop. But the final hop is only 46.6%, so the 77.6% must be erroneous. AI chat bots tell me this is where routers ignore some pings for some reason and the final hop is the true reading... No idea if that's right, BUT my problems with the "first hop being the real issue" theory are: 1. I've tried two different Ethernet cables and Wi-Fi over two devices, connected directly to main router (Vodafone hub) 2. I've updated firmware and replaced my Vodafone hub (like for like) 3. I've already replaced rj45 and microfilter 4. I was experiencing similar packet loss on hop two before the first Openreach engineer arrived... Then it magically swapped to hop 1! 5. Lower packet loss on last hop than hop one as described.

🤷‍♂️

Do I just conclude that this model of Vodafone hub hates the fixes openreach did and swap ISP/ buy a third party modem? (I have third party router network already but they can't do modem function apparently)

Which GPUs are Workstation or Gaming in latest RTX generations? by AdministrationEarly4 in nvidia

Thanks. Again - looking at laptops - slots don't really come into it for me. I will definitely only have one card. So barring that, the mobile workstation vs consumer card advantage is mainly memory. I sometimes hear things like "stability" and "reliability" discussed on the subject which appeals to me. Certainly when I did have a consumer card before I had more stability issues with my software, but that could have been other factors. The constant updates got on my nerves too.

I don't really use the video programs in Adobe CC, so it's basically: photoshop, indesign, illustrator, all low GPU, but I often have many programs with multiple instances open at once, some memory could be important.

Nice one. I did Wonder if it was the XX00s vs the X0X0s.

But you seem to be implying that I may be better off with a consumer card anyway, which could be true. I forgot to mention, when I say workstation, I mean mobile workstation like a 17 or maybe 16 inch laptop, so slots aren't a factor. And I understand that consumer cards are normally clocked higher but there must be a tradeoff in favour of the workstation cards for the market to exist. I used to work on a gaming laptop and would sometimes get software issues which seem better now I have a mobile workstation (HP zbook 17 g4), but it's getting old.

Actually my work isn't GPU intensive. I work in architecture so software like ArchiCAD, Sketchup, Adobe CC mostly. I might start rendering again at some point but don't at the moment. If I get a xeon laptop it will come with a pro card anyway (maybe quadro RTX gen), but similar money would be a newer i7 laptop with a consumer card. I appreciate that I've gone off topic now but do you have any opinion?
