RBR20 lag spikes
This is very frustrating. I have an Orbi RBR20 that when I ping the router itself from two different machines (Linux and Windows) and a cell phone i get occasional lag spike that ranges from 60ms to ...
What modem are you connected to?
What firmware is on the router? And the satellite(s)?
Have you tried turning off the satellites and seeing if you get the ping spikes just running the router?
It is a Spectrum modem but I'm only pinging the internal IP address.
| Model Name | Device Name | Current Version | Status | |
| Router | RBR20 | RBR20 | V2.5.1.16 | |
| Satellite | RBW30 | Sat-one | V2.6.1.6 |
With just the router I was getting the same spikes.
Here is a snippet of the ping to the router:

Here is the stats of the ping I just ran:
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 579, Received = 579, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1796ms, Average = 33ms
If you're getting this with the satellite powered off, it isn't the satellite.
have you tried a factory reset on the router?
when you reinstall it, do a clean install (not from backup).
Make sure to leave traffic monitoring, access control, parental controls all disabled.
Did a factory reset and left all of the mentioned options disabled...yet I'm still having the same issues. In some cases it is even worse:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1340ms, Average = 18msNot worried about the lost packets as the running ping was done while the router was being set up. The maximum should not be over 1300ms just for pinging the router internally.
