Are you testing with a laptop or desktop?

If you were using a desktop, switch to a laptop.

If you were already using a laptop, ignore steps 1 and 2.

1.) Connect your laptop to this same box and repeat "ping 8.8.8.8 -t".

2.) You should still see the >8% packet loss.

3.) Then take your laptop over to the router room and connect it directly to the modem/router.

4.) Do "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" again. What's the result?
