WL500: ping on wireless interface fluctuates

[b-leaver]

Hi there,

just very recently I found, that while connected to the WL500 through wireless interface, the pings fluctuate - see this:

There is no problem while being connected through a network cable.

I tried rebooting the router a few times but it didn't help.

Has anybody experienced that before? Could anyone give me a clue about what could cause this problem or how to fix it?

Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

try a different channel
for your wireless

try a different channel
for your wireless
I tried changing that and some other settings but no luck. I'll try flashing the old original WL500b firmware and see what happens.

[xlekx]

do you have wl500b or wl500g ?

dont use old firmware use oleg cr5 or cr6

Hello,

I´am having the same Problem here with the 1.9.2.7-6a Firmware
AND being connected to a cable.

The Ping hops from 29ms to 1000ms, makes Online-Gaming nearly
immpossible.

Anyone has an idea, how to fix that?
