    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    I am pinging the AP/router itself, not some device that is connected on the WAN so I doubt the cable between the AP and the modem matters. I did once (a long time ago) experience weird behaviour when pinging the upstream router (actually all WAN traffic had very long delays but I traced it to or...

    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    Sorry for such a late response. I finally got around to changing the channel. For some reason, I returned to using the TL-WR1043ND (2.4GHz only) with OpenWRT. By letting the router select the channel automatically, it chose channel 11 which was the most congested channel (at least three other...

    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    Evening time, back in my usual location. Streaming YouTube to the usual tablet, to an old MacBook and to the XPS13 itself. Pinging from XPS13 to router, connected on 2.437GHz (802.11n). Using the microwave oven as well. Latencies look good, the occasional 100-300ms latency (often for more than...

    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll connect to the router and try to get some statistics out of it. Since the new router (Archer C7) supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, I switched to using the 5GHz band for the XPS13 machine. The XPS13 doesn't support 802.11ac so I think it using 802.11n. Ping...

    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    > 1. heavy RF interference from a non-WiFi source (assuming no hardware faults). Move to a different channel among 1, 6 or 11 I doubt RF interference would create such deterministic latencies. Perhaps if all outgoing packets were stuck on the client egress side due to the transmitter not being...

    multisecond ping latencies on wireless

    I have intermittent problems with multisecond RTT latencies on my wifi network. It seems like packets get stuck for multiple seconds and then after a while show up. It's not only pings, other traffic as well. My ssh sessions from a wireless client to a wired machine (Ethernet to the router/AP)...
