    Baby ping spikes with XT8 router

    "Can you take the XT8 out of the equation by repeating the same tests with the laptop plugged directly into the Mikrotik?" The Mikrotik is worse with 100mbps and better with 1gpbs. I now think this is a distraction anyway, the ping only gets really high using my ISP speedtest, regular downloads...

    While investigating a packet loss issues (now resolved) it came to my attention that my XT8 quite frequently adds up to about 20ms to ping of the ISP gateway (using ethernet). This does not occur with another router, a Mikrotik Hap AC2. Originally I noticed this with the stock firmware, but I've...
