Packets are used because computer networks are \u201cpacket-switching\u201d networks. This means that packets can travel and be processed independently of each other over the same connections in any order, before being reassembled once they reach their destination.<\/p>\n<p>This is fundamental to the internet\u2019s infrastructure, where a huge number of devices make up the larger network, all communicating and sending data at the same time. Without packets, data would be sent as one long stream, which becomes impractical once more than two devices are introduced.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-851964\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock_2168846171.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Illustration of data packets routed throughout a computer network.\" width=\"650\" height=\"325\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-illustration\/illustration-demonstrates-routing-ip-packets-throughout-2168846171\">Anas Riad\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All data transferred over local and global computer networks is broken down into packets of around 1500 bytes.

This results in incomplete data on the receiving end, requiring data to be sent again to successfully process the request.<\/p>\n<p>Random packet loss can occur as part of \u201cnormal\u201d network performance. It\u2019s not desirable, and it can result in a slow network, interrupted streams, latency, and things not working as they are supposed to.<\/p>\n<p>Packet loss is more evident in certain online activities, particularly gaming, streaming, and real-time voice and video communication.

Restart your computer and apply any outstanding software updates. Do the same for network hardware, especially if it has been a long time since you\u2019ve power cycled.<\/p>\n<p>If your network equipment is under heavy load, test at a time when loads are lighter. Rather than doing this during the day when everyone is trying to use the internet, do it late at night when everything is off.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_Packet_Loss_on_a_Local_Network\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">Fix Packet Loss on a Local Network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Wi-Fi is a common cause of lost packets on a local network. The obvious remedy is to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/800669\/what-tools-do-you-need-to-wire-your-home-for-ethernet\/\">use a wired network, even though that\u2019s not always practical. At the very least you can test to see if the problem persists on a wired network to isolate Wi-Fi as the cause of your problems. Ideally, this would involve moving a laptop close to your router and connecting it up via Ethernet then running the above tests again.<\/p>\n<p>If it turns out that Wi-Fi is to blame, you can take some steps to mitigate problems by removing sources of network interference\u00a0and setting your channel accordingly. You may want to try switching between the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies to see if that helps.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already using a wired connection, check and replace any cables that may be damaged. Powerline networks can be affected by interference too, resulting in packet loss. Try turning off large appliances and re-testing to isolate the source.<\/p>\n<p>If your router is old and easily overloaded, replacing it with a modern mesh router system or high-performance Wi-Fi 6E router could be the answer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_Packet_Loss_Over_the_Internet\"><\/span>Fix Packet Loss Over the Internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hardware can also be to blame for problems that go beyond your local network. Always restart your computer and your network hardware then test over a wired connection if you suspect this to be the case. If you have a separate modem (or a combined router-modem), consider that it too could be to blame. If you can test with other hardware, do so.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re confident that the problem is your connection, it\u2019s time to get on to your internet service provider or telecommunications company to remedy the problem. Tell them exactly what the problem is, what you\u2019ve learned, and what sort of symptoms you\u2019re having (like streaming problems, latency issues when playing games, slow web browsing, and so on).<\/p>\n<p>Make a note of when you encounter these problems, whether it\u2019s all the time, during heavy usage periods, or sporadically. Be aware that some service providers may bill you for a call-out if they find that there is nothing wrong with your connection. Borrowing a modem and router from a friend to rule out your own equipment could save you some money!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_for_Excessive_Latency_Too\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_9\">Check for Excessive Latency Too<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Latency can be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/138771\/htg-explains-how-latency-can-make-even-fast-internet-connections-feel-slow\/\">one of the biggest sources of connection strife, an issue that plagues even relatively \u201cfast\u201d connections like satellite internet.
