If this doesn't help, please show us how you test the ping, and what are the 2.4G settings on the C20.

i have done all the troubleshooting. the ping spikes happen only when i play with 2.4g wifi connection rather than that everything is fine...this problem was worse before the firmware upgrade to the latest but still causing  problem of ping spikes...i have asked archer c20 users they have also said about this problem

As I tried to explain already, the 2.4G network may have heavy congestion in your environment, while online games require low latency, so that could be what you experience, we don't agree that this is a firmware issue.

 

You mentioned that you can play online games without latency when connecting to other 2.4G networks, can we have the ping test when you connect to one of them, which channel does it work on? 

 

BTW, what is the brand and model of the wireless card on this computer? Please check and install the latest driver for it.

Previoulsy i use to play online games with TL-WR720N 2.4g Router. i used that almost 5 years and then i bought this Archer C20 Router And Faced this issue but this ping spikes problem was terrible before this firmware upgrade

 

 

this upgrade solve the problem partially but still after some time 3/5 min suddenly ping spikes happens and because of this in-Game ping also get higher 

 

 

as you can see in this screenshot.

 

As i dont have my old Router i cant able to show you the ping of the router i used to get... i want to mention you that i am in the same environment i used to before and in my old router channel was in auto mode...

 

if you say that this is because of heavy congestion then why this problem occurs in every Archer C20 Router User They are in the Differernt Environment. i have asked many users They have also said about this issue ..

 

 

i have  tested Router ping with my Laptop Dell-inspiron 14 3476 and its wireless driver is up to date..
