Hi, I'm facing a problem that's been bothering me lately. I have two ASUS RT-ACC66U B1 routers, and they're generally working well. The download and upload speeds are decent compared to what I'd expect on Ethernet. However, I notice occasional pingspikes happening every second—sometimes more frequently, sometimes less. I'm not sure what's causing this. I've changed the channels on the router, but it doesn't seem to help. This issue seems to affect other people too, especially those playing games or experiencing ping problems. I currently have a perfect 300/300 connection via fiber into my home, and everything is set up in an AirMesh system with the extension module connected. I've tried switching the game mode on and off, prioritizing my computer on Wi-Fi, and capping bandwidth usage below 50 Mbps. The PC specs are an i7-6700K, 1070 Zotac, 32GB RAM, and a gaming ASUS board. I also have an extra 250GB SSD and three more Samsung SSDs. Another user with a similar setup—a gaming laptop with an i5-1060—reported the same issue, but it was a new purchase about four months ago. I ran a ping test at https://www.meter.net/ping-test/ and used PingPlotter, but nothing concrete. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, NBSneaky

I noticed you might not have understood the data yet. Could you share what latency range you think is typical? Also, do you know if your network experiences extra delays from the Wi-Fi signal or other sources?
