Wireless Access Point - Android Ping Response Time Issues

[SamS198]

Hi all,

So I have an issue that I hope you can help me with. 

I have a smartphone that is connected to an wireless access point. When I ping from the Access Point(AP) > smartphone, I experience high and inconsistent ping times compared to when I ping from the Access Point > a non-smartphone device(e.g Linux laptop) which gives low and consistent ping times. I have tested this with different routers, as well as a different brand of router, and different Android smartphone devices but I still am left with the same problem. This has also occurred with other Access Points in a different location.

 

To add, if I ping the smartphone > Access Point, the ping times are normal(low and consistent).

I have attached two screenshots:

1. Ping times from AP > Smartphone
2. Ping times from AP > Laptop.

 

I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the high & inconsistent ping times from the AP > smartphone. Does anyone know if this is a hardware, software or Android network priority issue?
