I think my Time Warner issued router is failing and I am trying to trouble shoot it. What I need to know is- can the aircard in my Macbook cause packet loss? If I ping Google, I am losing 25-40% of the packets.

If I plug a LAN cable directly to the ethernet port, I only lose 1-2 or none at all.

If I ping from my work computer (windows) I do not LOSE packets, but some of the ping times get huge (300ms, up from ~31ms).

I have tried off/on for the router and the aircard. In both cases, it will work great for 5-10 mins and then start filing again.
