HI there need some help.
I have a AC3100 (Main Floor) acting as an AP and an AC88u (Lower Floor) as the router.
The AC3100 is hardwired into a wall port that terminates in a patch on lower floor going into a Cisco business router that is then hardwired to the AC88u for DHCP and a connect from that to cable modem.
So from the above tests and a number of others I have done, it would appear to point that the high latency is definitely related to WiFi portion. This latency seems excessive considering how close the clients are (within 20-30ft) to the AP in some cases. I have even taken a laptop and tested at multiple distances, all result in the same latency.
Never saw this high a latency on older routers for LAN traffic across WiFi.
I am currently running the latest beta (2697) on both but have also tried Merlin’s excellent FW, all of which give me the same results.
I’m not sure whether I am missing a setting or if this is the best I should expect from this kit. Connecting new 802.11ac MU-MIMO also doesn’t change the latency being seen.
Any advice on what I may be missing with regards to settings etc is greatly appreciated.
Alternatively if anyone else is seeing similar things, let me know.
Thanks

- I have 2.4 enabled (20/40 Mhz) on the AC88u for older devices and 5.0 enabled (N/AC on 20/40/80 Mhz) on the AC3100 for newer.
- All hardwired connects work well with very low latency 0.535 ms etc
- All WiFi clients work BUT have high latency even if close to the router/AP.
- Pinging from a WiFi client (5ghz) to a wired results in low latency, all good.
- Pinging from a WiFi client (5ghz) to another WiFi client results in high latency (starts at 3ms and within 2 pings is up in the 80/90 ms and has exceeded 300ms, sometimes maxed at 500 ms !
- Pinging from hard wired to WiFi client also shows the high latency.
