Network Round Trip Time Spikes ever few Seconds on Orbi ax4200 RBR750
When pinging google on command prompt the ping rises occasionally, but when playing games like valorant the network round trip time or ping spikes up every like 2 seconds.
Just finished troubleshooting and experimenting with everything I could. The thing that was causing it was actually the power extenders! When changing the router plug into an actual outlet in the wall the wifi was great. It was lightning fast. At least I know now.

How odd! What kind of device are you pinging from, are there any network switches between that device and the router, etc.? It may be good to set things up in isolation, e.g., just the router and the device doing the pinging but not connected to the internet, and test ping the router from the device. Slowly add other components to your network until you figure out what is causing the time spikes to start again.
