Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1

I think none of us are sure why, either.   Mine, at 2.1.2.18, in AP mode.   Pinging a host on my wired network (my gateway):

Unlike 2.1.1, at least it isn't dropping any.   But the serious wobble isn't right (how bad it wobbles varies a lot).   Testing same with previous ASUS RT-AC88U doesn't show this behavior.

Are you sure you don't have any loops on your network with wired/wireless devices? I have heard that Sonos can do that if you plug in all of them - apparently you are only supposed to plug in one Sonos device and let the rest connect wireless using its own network. Something is on your network that is causing delays. Any android devices?

I should mention this ping time was generated while my kid is watching a 4K streaming source and with 25 connected devices. 

I have the RBK53 with the two satellites - upgraded to 2.1.2.18 for the past week and it's been stable.

I'm happy for you.

My network is otherwise happy, no loops, no issues.  And was, as mentioned, with previous APs.

1ms?  Over wireless?  That's...unlikely.  Are you plugged into the router via Ethernet, perhaps?

It's ok 1ms. Depend by computer, wireless card and medium.

For example if you have windows 10 on a business computer with Intel wireless card you will have that ping.

Also depend software installed on your computer, like firewall from antivirus.

Look,

i connected over wireless a Dell latitude E6330 computer to orbi over wireless and this is my ping:

Yes, completely wireless. The computer is a Dell XPS1 about 3 years old running windows 10 pro. Connecting to the router direct all wireless, the Orbi is running as the router. 

I've seen it jitter a bit more when connected via a satellite, but really on an LAN you should not be seeing constant double digit ping times, that would indicate that your network is not happy and something is causing that latency.

Lowest ping over LAN 0.3 - 0.4 ms,   jitter 0.3ms-0.7ms depend on traffic.

Up 10 days now on 2.1.2.18, still rock solid.  Running in AP mode behind a BT Smart Hub with mixed network of wired and wireless.

I don't see "constant" excessive ping RTTs, as shown only random swings into them.  The bulk of packets return in a few ms.  I'll agree, something is causing it.   As mentioned, the only change is the Orbi - going back to the ASUS restores the normal ping times.   Pings from any box anywhere on the wired GB network to another shows consistent sub-ms RTTs.

Sounds like interference with the Orbi wifi. I assume you've tried changing channels, and did a network scan to see what else is around.

Yes.

Daisy chain off for several days.  Since then, no major drops.  A few times, my iPad seemed to have to think a little longer than one would expect.  But, prior to turning off Daisy Chaining, I would have to reset a satellite pretty frequently due to 'no internet connection' error when looking at my wifi settings on my iPad.  Haven't gotten that since.  

No no other devices having issues right now, so maybe it's my older iPad acting up at this point.  Samsung S8 is fine, as are my PCs, Fire TV streaming, Amazon Echoes, and Nest camera.
