Packet Loss Where does it come from?
Wi‑Fi congestion, modem or home-network problems, ISP congestion, the international route and the game’s destination can all be causes. That is why you need to find out whether the loss starts in the local network or later along the route.
How do we detect Packet Loss?
Compare the wired connection with Wi‑Fi ; also monitor the gateway and a public destination, and then check the game’s destination. Pingura’s Real-Time Monitoring and network tools help you see Latency, Jitter and Loss side by side.
Can changing the route help?
If the Loss or instability is on the route from your ISP to the destination, an alternative route may perform better. If the problem is inside Wi‑Fi or the modem, changing the external route does not fix a local problem.
Frequently asked questions

Pingura monitors packet loss?
