    Solved RT-AC86U Ping spikes on 5GHz Wifi

    I have figured it out. My router is pretty close to a wall and other things on a table. If I move the router, literally 5cm forward from the wall, all the ping spikes disappear completely. I have reproduced this now over 8 times. I cannot believe how a few cm makes such a difference but I am...

    Solved RT-AC86U Ping spikes on 5GHz Wifi

    Last thing, I also connected a shirtty cheap router directly to the RT-86U and connected to the 5GHz AP of the crap router. Running a ping test to the RT-86U worked fine without any massive ping spikes so I don't think there is any interference where I live that could be causing this...

    It's worth mentioning that I have also reset and nuclear reset the router several times and even tried the latest Merlin firmware and the issue persists.

    I seem to be having exactly the same problem described above. I am using a RT-AC86U router and am the only client on the 5 GHz wifi, the other. clients are on 2.4Ghz. I get get pretty regular ping spikes on the 5GHz wifi which make playing online games impossible. I know, for sure, that it is...
