Coverage and speeds are great but having massive ping spikes (up to 1500ms) every 10-20 seconds which are making my online video and gaming unbearable.
Advanced Settings
- Respond to Ping on Internet Port - ON Any particular reason for this?
- Disable IGMP Proxying - ON
- NAT Filtering - Open - Mine is set to Secure
- Disable SIP ALG - ON Any particular reason for this?- Turn UPnP On - ON - Is this required for gaming?
It might be helpful to determine if these ping spikes are caused by the ISP connection or the Orbi. If it is the ISP, nothing done to the Orbi will fix the problem. Perhaps some devices that are connected to the Orbi could be added to the ping program to see if they also exhibit this phenomenon.
How is the computer recording these ping responses connected?
- With ethernet to the Orbi router?
- To one of the Orbi satellites?
Which Ping Test is this?
