I will always preference wired over wireless, but I am currently unable to run an ethernet to my desktop (my partner is not keen on having a tripwire run straight across the house). So I did the same ping test that OP did and noted a few spikes, I had 10 pings over 250ms out of 600, all of these were distributed unevenly over time. Guess I could be subject to such wireless degradation. But I can't say for sure without trying an ethernet cable. t : ms 32: 1725.0, 33: 662.0, 68: 406.0, 100: 980.0, 101: 285.0, 312: 454.0, 342: 746.0, 464: 453.0, 480: 1852.0, 481: 841.0
