? Trying to determine cause of packet Loss

Archived from groups: (More info?)

I've also got a D-Link DI 524 router, and I get something like
2-10% packet loss--even plugged in directly, and even for sites
on the corporate intranet that should have 0% loss. Do you get
the same problem when hardwired, or only with wireless?

This packet loss limits my throughput to about 20KB/s on a 100baseT
network, which is quite annoying. I get the same behavior when using
the 3.02 and 3.20 (August 18 2005) firmware.

Bottom line: this may be a hardware issue with the D-Link 524...
