Range extenders experiencing voltage drops Lag issues in wireless signals Power fluctuations affecting performance
Hello everyone! I just moved into a new apartment and faced some connectivity issues. Since the router layout doesn’t allow direct PC wiring, I connected my PC to a range extender (TL-WA850RE). The signal quality is great, latency is almost perfect most of the time, but every 20-30 seconds I experience a significant lag spike of 200-300ms. After that, everything returns to normal. I’m pretty sure the problem lies between the extender and the router. When I ping the router, the results show no packet loss (99% sent, 99 received) and very low round-trip times (1ms to 344ms). This seems to happen randomly. I’ve tried updating firmware, disabling IPv6, and turning off other devices, but nothing resolved it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
That’s the same concept, but if there were interference it shouldn’t be consistently fast then suddenly slow again. It’s confusing since it works perfectly for a short time before spiking briefly. What kind of interference might cause this behavior?
