[X2Go-User] x2go Dropping keystrokes?

[Michael Ashley]

I have seen massive problems with missing and re-ordered keystrokes when I was using an EnGenius ENH500v3 wifi bridge. This bridge had some sort of networking problem where pings would normally take a few milliseconds, but every 30 seconds or so they would take over a second. I presumed that TCP/IP would take care of any missing/duplicated/re-ordered packets. Does x2go use UDP?

I replaced the ENH500v3 with a Ubquiti Nanostation Loco (a *far* better product) and the problem immediately went away.

Regards,
Michael
