It has to be a routing problem when the traffic reaches SA.
Here is a tracert of the packet from here to your RA:
Tracing route to xxxxxxx [197.228.xxx.xxx]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 69.198.171.165
2 4 ms 5 ms 4 ms 172.28.141.148

20 2206 ms 594 ms 539 ms 8ta-228-32-06.telkomadsl.co.za [197.228.xxx.xxx]

Trace complete.
The packets start to get dropped when they reach SA, especially when it gets to your router.
I've seen this happening once in the past and it was related to 3G router connection.
The person was in Thailand, not SA though, but I think it is the same problem.
I think in his case, he confirmed the connection problem when he took his RA to someone's house and used a different internet provider and things started working.

Packet loss could be the isp shaping your line. Common practice in sa. I have noticed the internet very sliw the last few days.

I don't get any packing lost when pinging other devices on my WiFi network... its only the WiFi model...?
I updated the WiFi module too but it still does the same...

Attached is the tera term macro file I use to update and program the chips.
To execute, open tera term and go to menu Control->Macro

Or manually, try these commands:
set ftp address 198.175.253.161
set dns name www.reefangel.com
ftp u
save
reboot

Connect again and use this:
set w j 1
set i r 80
set i f 0x06
set s t 0x10
set u m 2
set i p 2
set c s 1420
save
reboot

Your picture links are all broken. The packetloss described was between you and your isp, not on your internal network.

The images are from another forum and they only work if you are logged in to mysaltyforum.com

If you can't ping your module than the ip may have changed...is your module blinking green or blue. Blue is not good.

That is your EXTERNAL ip address that is used by no-ip.org... your wifi module has it's own IP address that is assigned by your router. That may have changed. The fact that the module is green indicates that it is on your network properly.

Can you still ping and point your phone to that IP? If you can then either your router lost the forwarding OR the no-ip is not updating properly and your external IP address changed.

Hey dude,

I just started having the same issue. As Inevo said i reckon its the port forwarding. When you setup the wifi attachment it does the upnp forwarding for you. On a reboot it lost that and gave exactly your issue. I manually entered the details and rebooted and all is good now, give it a bash and if you haven't come right PM me on SaltyReef
Believe it or not.... I can ask even stupider questions than this one.
