    High Ping To Default Gateway

    Hello everyone,

    For some reason after I upgraded my Windows to the anniversary update. I've been having high ping issues on my laptop to the default gateway.

    It will ping low like 1-5ms then on random hops it will go well over 500+ms.

    I've looked all over the net for a fix and have not been able to solve yet.

    I've tried resetting the router to default settings, different channels, etc. Tried moving the router but that's not the issue, because it will do it right beside the router. There are no other close wifi spot most are far away barely even picking them up. I have done a fresh install of Windows 10 and checked for malware also.

    I also have the latest driver updates as well.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    **SIDE NOTE: I tested the laptop on an Ethernet connection, the ping is much better, most under 5ms. However I did about 10 tests on 2 of them I had a couple hops ping around 43ms. Not as high as when on the WiFi but it shouldn't do that from what I understand. I also tried on my other laptop on the Ethernet, no problems at all..**
