Hi everyone,
I have been searching the forums the last week to find an answer to this problem i am facing. I have been unable to actually resolve this issue as of now and was hoping that asking directly would steer me in the right direction of solving this.
I have two GT-AX600 routers set-up. One as main router with Merlin (latest stable) installed (i am unsure if this is a merlin related issue that is why i am not posting it there) and the other GT-AX6000 is stock and set-up as an AIMesh node.
My wired internet stability is perfectly fine. When i run a continuous ping i get between 4-8ms on average.
Wireless however is an entirely different situation. I get a serious latency spike very couple of minutes on my MacBook or SteamDeck device. I have been running pings on these as well and these latency spikes go up to 2000ms and even brief timeouts or disc/reconnects. I noticed these issues when i had several video conferences just freeze intermittently. See example below of an actual timeout.
Things i have tried:
I am really not sure what next steps there are to take from here.
Thank you for your time.

Things i have tried:
- Several resets and or reboots
- I have been over all the wireless settings and turned off every setting in the professional tab that i have seen people suggest you turn off: Airtime Fairness, Multi-User MIMO, OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO, 802.11ax/ac Beamforming, Universal Beamforming, Enable WMM APSD
- Changed the wifi channels to the least crowded ones available (also no DFS channels)
I am really not sure what next steps there are to take from here.
Thank you for your time.
