jumping connection WLAN is unstable?

[Icefly]

Hey,

for some reason my WLAN is not stable at all. I moved to... let's call it another place.

Sometimes i have a really good ping about 12-24ms.

But for some reason it jumps to 800ms-1500ms+ sometimes.

Like every 3-7 seconds.

When i download something on Steam it seems fine, it swings a litte but now jump to 800ms+

Twitch was different. I had the same lags when watching streams. 

 

What can i do?

(Answers like: LAN cable, shorter distance and access points are not helping because im not able to manage that at the moment)

 

Edit: Sometimes it completely cuts the connection.

it's normal

 

high download speed (steam) doesn't means the connection has low latency

Can you use/Are you using 5GHz WiFi?

If not, is the 2.4GHz very busy? Have you tried changing channels?

Oh yeah, totally forgot that this was a thing.

I'll try that tomorrow.

If you have cable remember you are sharing the connection with your "neighbors" (aka the whole block +1).

I'm late, i know. But yeah that's also what i ended up with having to deal with.

WLAN speed can be affected by the slowest device on the network. In wireless communication, only one device can "talk" at a time. So if someone's on the network and they're slow, they could be hogging it up longer than you'd like. That's of course, assuming the signal quality is good otherwise.
