Hi,
I am from Hong Kong and I bought WZR2-G300N months ago. In fact, I found that when connecting this wireless router directly to the ADSL modem provided by Netvigator HK (model: NEC ATU-R300), it experiences a serious packet loss through PPPoE. I have my notebook which (1) has a Terminal which pings to a particular host in the ISP continuously, (2) connects to youtube.com and plays video continuously. I found that:
(1) the youtube movie jitters a lot , AND
(2) pinging to the host in the same ISP gives a lot of packet loss.
However, if I connect WZR2-G300N to a cheap network switch, and my ADSL modem also connects to this cheap network switch, the jittering problem seems to be solved with much fewer packet loss (on average, only 2-3 among 300 ICMP packets).
I wonder if there could be a newer firmware which could fix this problem, or it is a hardware issue which is not fixable. The Firmware version of my WZR2-G300N is already 1.52 .
Thanks.
