What are your computer specs, My laptop has 2 graphics processors, the built in Intel one and the ati one, i have to set whether to use the ati or intel one in the settings and always set the power options to high performance, I had to downgrade my graphics drivers to an earlier version to get it working ok,
Was it working ok with an earlier version of smartsdr?
Cheers
Paul

There are several other possibilities that focus on the Ethernet connection. You indicate that you are using a router, not a switch or hub - correct? Assuming it's a router, have you looked to see if there is a firmware update for the unit? If it is an older unit you may want to replace it.
You should check and see what your PC's settings are under Device Manager. You may want to force the connection to 1 Gbs Full Duplex if the router is a 1 Gbs capable or 100 Mbps Full Duplex if not.
You should also determine what other connections there are on the router (is it also Wi-Fi?) to see if your available bandwidth is what it should be.
I have also seen CAT5 cables go bad. Have you tried replacing both cables (radio and PC)?
Hoping this helps.

I am sure someone else will correct me if what I say is not correct but I know this is where we went when I was having issues. I was able to rune smart sdr on a radon 5400 with 512 meg of memory not a lot but it will not run the three monitors running smart sdr and 5 other programs with one of those 5 being dx lab which is running 6 programs.
Frank do you have another computer to run it on? Do you have another flex 6000 owner you could take your radio to and try it out.
I will be honest the "thin client" we started with has been dropped and I will say that if you are running a very sophisticated radio like the 6000 and other ham related programs you need a good computer to stay on the cutting edge I would like to have over kill than under kill.
Good luck.

Just some additional information if it helps with the troubleshooting. I have done nothing about this because it doesn't really affect what I am doing at present. But I haven't been doing a lot of WSPR, WSJT-T, Skimmer, etc which would need constant data flow when I am not in front of the rig.
I am assuming it is a vid-card driver issue and I need to downgrade it, or wait until the next upgrade? I remember reading somewhere that AMD video-drivers seem to skip a release between working well and not working well.....?

Unless you are using the machine for intensive graphics (usually gaming) there are no demanding reasons to perform and video driver updates (short of some a security issue or major OS update like 8.0 to 8.11 on Windows).
I allow updates to download but only "critical" ones to install automatically. I review the others (recommended and optional) before install anything else.
Just my 3.5 cents due to inflation

With the FLEX Series radios, DPCs are a significant factor in the radio's performance. I have seen updated video drivers from Microsoft perform horribly in this regard and the only "fix" was to install the latest manufacturer's driver. Only get updated drivers from your PC manufacturer or directly from the hardware vendor.
