Hi, is it normal for a router to discard packets?

A few is normal, but not desirable as this means the packet has to be resent which can be an issue for gaming / VoIP etc.

2 billion FEC is a tad high, I realise FEC are correctable, but that’s a lot of corrections.

Alas, the DSL-N16 does not handle bad/noisy lines well, hence if the stats worry you, then you need to consider using a Broadcom or simular chipset based DSL modem/Router ?

  • Draytek 130 Modem > Router of your choice
  • Fritz!Box 7530 AX etc.
