Ping randomly skyrocketing from 20ms to 12,000ms
It all started this morning. I was playing PlayStation 4 with some buddies the all of the sudden I started lagging! So I performed some ping tests and my ping was at about 12,000ms (12 seconds). ...
hard to say what it could be except with that small an upload limit it might be some device syncing with the cloud , eg itunes or google drive or one drive or it may just be updates , restarting the orbi will stop it temp and then it will restart
have you also check games arnt updating in the background
Nope, there's nothing going on in the background of any computers or on my PS4.
Alsp, everything has been fine for 2 months until this morning. It's not like anything has changed. The only thing I can think of is the firmware updating overnight, maybe?
well check to see if it has updated but normally high ping spikes arnt related to the router its more ether a congestion or usage issue , wouldnt panic to much and just wait it out at least a day to see if it fixes its self you never know it might even be isp side of things
