Cant stream at all, any platform, at times. Massive dropped frames. Tried Everything. Please verify what i think!

So, this used to just be an issue when I would use mr AX3000 router, wired to my pc via cat 8. I cvant stream to any platform, at any bitrate, at any resolution. I just get massive dropped frames. So i would just use my Cuda52 modem right to my PC and i could stream to youtube in 4k 60fps like i want to. Ran a 12 hour stream yesterday. Go to start this morning, and the same issue is now when the modem is wired to the pc. WTF.


Did a complete reset and installed both modem and router per their manuals. Re-installed my modem in the xfinity app. I've downloaded Wireshark and I'm getting tons of TCP Duplicate Acknowledgments, which is usually caused by lag or internet speed, right?. So, I ran ping tests. Ran a ping test from my PC to my router. All was perfect. Ran a ping test from the router to pc, and it was perfect. Ran a ping test from my PC to the YouTube server IP. Also, it is very low latency. Ran a ping test(from PC and from the router) to Xfinity's server, also great. I tried changing the DNS servers in the router. Didn't make a difference. I set static IPs in the PC and the router. No difference. I made sure to bind the IP addresses. Same thing. I installed a new driver on my ethernet card. Didn't change anything. I tried everything setting in the router. I tried every firewall setting in Windows and my router. No differences All my speed and latency tests online come back as i would expect. for my 2gb upload 300mb download package. I also set all the neccsary ports forward in my router and in my PC's firewall rules. Also having the firewalss off in the PC and router make no difference. having the router in DMZ mode makes no difference. I had the cable company out here and they showed me thsat i have 2gb speeds right at the cable where it goes in my house.

Ive also re downloaded OBS and reinstalled. No luck.

Im at a loss. I believe its an issue with my iSP, but I dont know what. what do I do? lol PLEASE HELP!

Hey,
I am not sure if it helps but I run into issues as well and finally found this thing usefull which have worked in my case:

"In some cases, software / drivers / programs claiming to "optimize" or "enhance" your network connection can cause problems. Try uninstalling any extra software / drivers related to your network card other than the core driver that needs to be installed for Windows. Avoid using any "network optimization" or "TCP tweak" programs. Some problematic software like ASUS ROG GameFirst may automatically install as part of your motherboard's UEFI drivers and must be manually uninstalled. Lenovo Vantage / Legion Edge pre-installed on some Lenovo PCs also creates problems with the "Network Boost" feature - this needs to be disabled when using OBS or you will experience severe network issues."

Well, after weeks of struggling and pulling my hair out, i figured out the culprit....

I switched to "IPV6 Only" and bound to my modem's IPV6 IP, and it immediately started to work. So, i plugged in my router, set up an IPV6 IP, and it also works now!

Could it be an issue with the IPV4 IP address itself? Im not sure. I read something about having a zero as the third set of digits in the ip could cause an issue, and my IPV4 addy has that. But its fixed now and I want to know why. I need to know at this point haha. At least it works now!
