Hello.

I have been using a ethernet connection directly to my PC for a while now. I had no issues whatsoever, with an average ping of 32ms to most western European cities.

I needed a router because I recently started getting wireless devices, so I bought the new Linksys wrt1900ACS.

It supposedly has a great range and connection, and everyone I know that has it adores it.

My problem is that when I connect by wifi, my ping goes to around 120-200ms to the same European cities tested over an ethernet cable connection.
Everyone else I know with the same router and ISP service as me, get around +1 ping when connected to wifi instead of an ethernet cable. I get +100 - 200.
This happens with all wirelessly connected devices even if they are 20 cm away from the router.

I don't know what causes the problem. I am looking for help to either find a solution or at least find the problem.

Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean if you hook to the new router with a ethernet you still get about 32ms and the problem only occurs on wireless?

Pretty much this is the standard interference issue. If you have a strong source of interference you can put your PC on top of your router and it will still have packet loss and delays.

All you do is try the standard solutions. Try other channels, in your case try both the 2.4g and 5g options. You can also set the channel width to 20mhz which increases you chance of gettting a channel to not interfere when you use larger widths you are using more channels. The 802.11ac uses 80mhz which is 4 channels so you greatly increase you chance of interference. The down side is you will in effect turn off...

The down side is you will in effect turn off the 802.11ac and go back to using 150m 802.11n but single clear channel will work better than 4 that you get interference.
