Not getting any answers on /wsr/, halp

Getting some random ping spikes, only happens on this machine, works fine on ethernet but it's a laptop and I can't keep it plugged in.

Router is a Netgear Nighthawk R8000, wlan card is a broadcom device, asus laptop

Tried a bunch of stuff, not quite sure if the wlan card is going bad or if there's something else wrong

first of all— not you're personal tech support, you massive faggot.

if it's a hardware failure, you're fucked.

if not, try these steps

follow these steps and find where the latency (time) starts to increase dramaticallly

1.ping your loopback
2.ping your own ip address
3.ping your default gateway
4.then ping 8.8.8.8
5.then ping google.com

see where

>>57168853
oh any if you're biggest "ping spike" is 150ms, that's fucking nothing.

you wouldn't even have any issues with that latency in the most time-sensitive of data transfer like VoIP or video

that's the thing though, it shouldn't be, but it's crippling my ability to play vidyas and eat tendies

here's what appears to be the problem

assuming router config is fuckaroo'd or something?
>>
>>57168958
Yea the router looks fucked, and since it works fine on ethernet it's very likely something with a poor signal.


Like literally take your laptop and put it right next to the router and ping it again and see if the latency drops
>>
>>57168958
the only other possibility is that the laptop's internal wifi adapter is shit.
you could test this by pinging the router again but from another device in the network.

if the latency is really low from the other device, it's probably your laptop wifi card/adapter and not the router

>>57169019
tested it on multiple devices, it appears the router is fucked :|

config issue or hardware?
>>
>Netgear garbage

>>57169090

Probably hardware but you would need to do all these things to be completely sure:

1. Do a factory reset
2. Disable any feature that disables hardware forwarding. I don't have the complete list but enabling Block Sites, Block Services, Access Control, and QoS may force the router to use software forwarding, which can subject traffic to the vagaries of the router's O/S. Even port forwarding may affect performance.
3. Make sure there is no radio interference (cordless phone, baby monitor, etc.) affecting Wi-Fi performance.
4. Make sure you're on the latest NetGear Firmware
5. Switch to 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT or Asus-Merlin.

If you still have latency after doing all that bullshit, it's definitely hardware.

Most of those are a pain in the dick so I would just say factory reset and if you still have the same problem just get a decent fucking router.
