BE9700 Latency only stabilizes while pinging random server

BE9700 Latency only stabilizes while pinging random server

Sunday
Model: Archer BE6500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.0.7 Build 20251027 rel.50074(5553)

I just got an Archer BE9700 and after setting up, while my connection speed has improved significantly, the latency has gone to hell, and is extremely unstable.

The weird thing is - if I open a terminal and ping any random server indefinitely, the latency stabilizes.

It's obviously something with the router as I did not have this issue before.

 

On Path of Exile, this is the latency chart by default:

034ea85e8b0c4aab9d2fd2e933bafd5f

 

But if I start pinging e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 -t:

879e936c7d7044a9ad52c270d77ff752

 

This is a wild finding but I have no idea why this is happening.

This happens on all frequencies; 6GHz, 2.4/5.0GHz, as well as with MLO.

Does anyone have any clue on what setting I can tweak on the router to fix this?

  @gabrieltaets Did you try manually setting the DNS Server to Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4?  Only recently did I switch from AT&Ts provided DNS to Google.  (Not sure if this has anything to do with your issue but you pinged the Google DNS)...

Hello @gabrieltaets ,

 

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:

ISP modem—BE9700 )))((( client devices

(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Have you enabled the QoS feature on the BE9700? Could you disable it for a try?

Additionally, could you test the network and provide the test results (including latency and bufferbloat results)?

Note: Make sure no devices are currently uploading or downloading large files from the Internet (e.g., backup/sync tasks by Google Drive, Dropbox, etc).
