Getting massive variations in ping making online gaming unplayable even though this is your ultrafast plus fibre broadband

Please post your router stats

What device are you gaming on?

How is it connected to the hub?

Hi, I have the same issue.

I first moved in and had these issues which I didn't at my old flat. My solution was powerline adaptors and they have worked perfectly. Until this week. depending on the time of day I hit between 12-24 ping typically which is very solid. The last few days I sit anywhere from 50 -200 ms ping all the time. I do not understand what has happened I have not changed anything with my configuration. I am still getting solid speeds themselves but the ping makes the gaming completely unenjoyable having slower reactions than other players. I am also experiencing low level packet loss.

Powerline Adaptor

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am out of my depth and this is so frustrating having nothing change and being completely in the dark about what may have happened. @jamesn123 I have attached stats.

Have you tried resetting both adapters? Sometimes the link can get messed up

[Bouckley]

Yes I have tried resetting. Went away for a week and came back and it is still the same

I forgot to include this. Similar thing from my laptop over wifi ping much higher than before.

just ping google.com

Could do with a ping test when connected directly via ethernet, not powerline.
