RBR850 bad ping
Hello I just got an RBR850 with one router and one satellite. The bandwidth is far more better than the previous TP-Link I got except for the ping time. RBR850 router is at the same place th...
What are you pinging? The RBR itselt? Ping the ISP modem thru the RBR? Pinging the RBR to the RBS? RBS to the RBR?
How are you pinging? Wireless or wired connection? Wired connection is preferred.
CAT6 LAN cable is recommended.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Last FW on RBR and RBS : V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
with factory reset after upgrade
This tests with a MacBook but tests with Raspberry Pi or PC are the same.

ISP router is a french LiveBox with fiber 2*1 Gbps
test speed from RBR which is cable cat6 connected :
937.36 Mbps - 604.23 Mbps
Tests from a Raspberry connected to the LiveBox :
ping 0ms Download : 937 Mbps Upload : 598 Mbps
Again, 1/2 ms ping with same tests with TP-Link but bad bandwidth with TP-Link
