Internet works great but online games D/C alot

Okay.. like 5 months ago we got Netgear. It worked out fine for a month.

My internet games were not disconnecting every second. Actually they never disconnected. They were fast... and good. But then something happend. I have no idea what happend.

Internet was good and fast still. But my games, like are really slow. I can't even log into them. Then when I can, it takes about 10 minutes to get in. Then when I get on it's massive lag. It's for all my internet online games. Then when I try to play, it's like my character is the only one lagging becuz I see, hear, and watch other ppl walk by me, talk, and other stuff. then I get disconnected a minute later. then I try to get back on, then after another minute or 2 I get disconnected again. After several more tries, i give up.

Like I play sims 2 and 3 and stuff fine but when it comes to online mmorpgs and online games, it just disconnects me like every minute.

So I did a line quality test at dslreports.com

there's one thing I notice. Hop 2 to Los Angeles. 17% loss. Everythin' else is 0 and all pass.

maybe I'm havin' packet loss or somethin' wrong with my ISP... I dunno.

Please help me.

My netgear is Wgr614
My comp is Vista inspiron 520S

Maybe you should actually post the link to the line quality test?

What you describe sounds like an ISP issue.

I'd like to see a couple more runs of the line quality test, try to hit it when you're having the issues.
