Orbi or Nighthawk A7000 Massive Ping Spikes
This has started to get much worse recently but for a long I would experience lag spikes that would last about 3 seconds. These lag spikes would happen about every 20-30 seconds. I would ping google ...
If pings are good when closer with the PC wirelessly and good with wired directly to the RBR, then I would presume your adapter maybe the cause if what your seeing.
My modem is an Surf Board SB6183.
First time I pinged my router I got ping jumps again from about 3ms to about 600ms about every minute, sometimes the request just timed out. I then moved my router right next to me and did the same thing wirelessly and I didn't get any ping spikes for the 5 minutes I tested. I then tried wired and I got >1ms ping and no ping spikes either. My router and modem are only about 20-30 feet away from my PC so I don't think where my router's location is the problem. I am not sure what this means but it is strange. I really think the problem is with my Nighthawk adapter.
