Above is a ping to the first hop in my network, a wireless access point. As you can clearly see its an absolute pile of ****. What could be causing such terrible responses? I am sitting mere metres away when running this ping fyi.

Any ideas?

Ok ive been playing with my network and it's deffintely a problem with my wireless point. My network topology is router > wap > computers.

I ping websites for 1.5k ms on wireless, if i connect directly with a cable i ping for the same. But if i disconnect the wap from the router i ping cabled for <20ms. So it seems the wap is somehow flooding the router messing up the connection whether using the wap or not.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or is it the wap buggered?
