For a while I was having an issue with my ping sky rocketing to around 500-900ms when my average is normally around 30-50ms. I did some research on the issue and I found out I had an update for my router which I installed and seemed to have solved the issue. For about a month it was working as normal without any issues. A couple of days ago the same issue just came back. I have tried to restart my router and modem which seems to fix it for about 10 seconds and then flies back up again.

My computer specs are:


I ran a ping test:


This is the speed test:


I really could use some help!

Thanks,
William

Also I have a Netgear WGR614v10 Wireless router. I have my desktop computer that is having the ping issues wired into it.

do you have any other devices plugged into the router? are they experiencing the same issue?

[wab11287]

It is a wireless router which I have our two bluray players, wii, printer, and two cell phones connected to. None seem to have issues. Last night I took the router off and directly hooked up the modem to the desktop which seemed to fix the issue. So does this mean I need to buy a new router? What confuses me is why the other devices do not have any issues.

well, have you run the same ping tests with the other devices (specifically the cellphones?)

[wab11287]

Tried to run some tests on my cell phone hooked up to the wifi. Got mixed test results, started at 80ms ping. Kept testing... each test the ping went up some, reached 298ms once, then went back down again. Ran some tests on the desktop again after keeping the router unplugged for two days.

Did a ping and traceroute test. Here are the results:

I ran a second one since the first didnt look terrible. Seems to be pretty good looking right now... Maybe keeping the router off for multiple days fixed it?

My main question now is if this really fixed it then what caused it in the first place? Or if this is just another temporary fix like I had before what keeps causing it to return?
