Thanks for the fast reply!! I haven't tried ethernet connection yet, but I don't think it's because of wireless interference, since the ping spikes are almost always starting on the second hop --- after the router. Also when the drop outs happen, I'm still connected to wifi, just no internet (I haven't noticed any change to the lights on the router or modem since the drop outs go away so fast). I've also tried tweaking the 5Ghz channels and bandwidth, but nothing changed. Another thing is that I've been using wifi and it's been fine until a week ago when these problems started showing up. I'll order an ethernet cable today and see if it can help eliminate some possibilities. Thanks again. ... View more

Hi, I'm writing this again because for some reason my first post is not showing, It counts in my number of posts but is invisible. I used to play Apex legends on Hong Kong server with 120 ping, months ago it turned into about 250 ping, which is higher than connecting to US servers. So I switched to Singapore servers, which has 130 ping usually, but became 350 ping just few days ago, and I can't game anymore. I suspect there is a routing issue so I ran tracert tests on all three alleged IP address of the Singapore servers that someone posted online.  ... View more
