[TriLUG] TWC - Packet Loss problems in Cary/Apex, NC

[Ron Kelley]

Thanks everyone for taking time to respond.  Turns out, my pfSense firewall is not dropping packets, but my laptop via wireless *is* dropping packets.  I just replaced the CAT5 cable on my wifi router (Mac AirPort Extreme) and the packet drop is much less - but I still see a few.  Working thru the details now...

Thanks again for everyone's replies.
