for at least a month now, I've been getting ping spikes throughout the day. Im mainly testing my ping on online gaming servers, such as Minecraft.
On ideal times i range anywhere from 30-70ms, which is just fine for what im doing. However, at random points during the day ill get an indefinite period of high ping, anywhere from 500-2500ms. it will just fluctuate within that range, and eventually go back to the standard 30-70ms range after time.
There is no telling how long these spikes last, and most of them are fairly long (at least 30min, often 3+ hours). Many people share the network in my home, but none of them are really using intensive services, but I am not certain on this. At most, one person might be watching streaming Youtube videos.
Our wifi speeds aren't the greatest to begin with, but i figure it should be able to handle a video stream?
Also, I am using a D-Link DIR-615 router, wireless connection. I have not tried a wired connection, as my mac does not have an ethernet port (RIP). However, i did run a few ping tests to help give the most info to whoever is reading:
EDIT: I Pinged these tests on a WIRED connection and got very low pings. But the ping to my router when i did the test on wireless was very good (low pings as indicate below) So im confused, does this mean my router is faulty?
Pinging my online game server, i get High ping (ranging from 500-2000 or so like i said)
Pinging a website like www.google.ca i get a similar ping to the game server.
Pinging my DNS server i again get a similar high ping.
Pinging my router's ip though, gives me a stable, low ping (lower than 1ms or so on average)
I also ran a trace route and got consistent high pings throughout. altho i do not know much about how these work, so if you need me to run any more specific tests let me know.
