I've been having tons of ping trouble in games lately. I never had a problem until just recently, maybe like 2-3 weeks now. I always had disconnect trouble but never ping issues. I don't know what they did but I feel like they messed something up with recent firmware changes. I'm currently waiting on recieving a link to the beta firmware. I'll let you know if that helps at all.

I feel the same way. Firmware update definitely messed something up. I feel like they accidentally sent out a Beta or even an Alpha

I have been using the beta firmware for several hours and my ping issues are still alive and well. Not sure what the issue is anymore or how to even go about fixing it. Just thought I'd give you an update, good luck.

have you got another router to try as this will remove any doubt weather its the orbi or if its something upstream causing the issue and just being a coincidence
