Hi!
I recently needed to pull the lan plug out of the Ethernet jack on my motherboard. The plug was stuck rather hard in the socket, so I had to use some moderate force to pull it out, while rocking it from side to side a bit. At last it got out (it FLEW out!). Now I'm concerned I might have damaged the LAN port on the motherboard.
I have not noticed anything during gaming, but when I ping more than one target in Pingplotter with 1 sec or 2,5 sec intervals, I get packet loss from my router and the hop after it. Is this normal?
Also, I have tried pinging Blizzard servers. This is the result:
Ping statistics for 185.60.112.157
Packets: sent = 2686, Received = 2685, Lost = 1 (0% loss)
Minimum = 45 ms, Maximum = 79 ms, Average = 47 ms.
Is this loss of 1 packet someting that will impact gaming? So far I have not been noticing much, but if I load up youtube videos I start losing a few more packets, maybe 3 or 4 more.
Is this normal? May I have damaged my LAN port?
How would a pci express Network card (Nic) work with gaming? Could it be as good as the built in Lan port on my motherboard?
I have looked into a few Pci Express solutions, namely this: Intel EXPI9301CTBLK PCI-Express Network Adapter-Newegg.com
It is from 2008 though, so I'm concerned it might not handle things as well the in built LAN controller on my motherboard, which is much newer.
Lots of question all at once, thanks for your patience guys
