Are these pings normal?

[ViBE]

Finally I have an FTTH connection and I just setup the network and I want to be sure that everything is fine or not. So I did some test and I see some differences.

First I directly connected to the network. That means:
ONT > Cat6 > PC
After this my ping was around 0-1ms. No peaks. Average was 3ms.

Then added Asus RT-AC58U:
ONT > Cat6 > Asus RT-AC58U > Cat > PC
The pings are around 1-2ms but I see some peaks and not clear why.



I'm not a professional but I know that more layer/distance cause higher latency. Also quality means a lot. But I have well shielded cables and the distance between the devices is less than 2 metres.

So are those pings/peaks normal? What could cause those peaks if the PC just idle and this is the only connected device while I test? Do I have to care about these or not?

In my opinion everything is fine. My Statistics:

What is the length of the cable?

[ViBE]

What is the length of the cable?

2 metres only.

[CBx86]

Something wrong.
You are using the same 'duct' for energy/power and data?

15 meters - Cat 5 - 'home made' crimped cable - brand name "Chicken"; yeah! LOL China cable named Chicken. I brought a box/bulk on rush. 07/10 quality. (Unshielded )

That would make me wonder what's wrong. Ping to IP 193.239.149.210 max 22 ms seems to me perfectly fine.

I confused ip "193.239.149.210 " with one Class C. Sorry.

Ignore what I said.

forget the IP. it's relevant only for me. it's the local backbone. i'm talking about the peaks what appears while i'm connecting through the Asus router.

[RomanHK]

Those peaks in ms can be CPU work (NAT, ...) so I see it cool .

[fifonik]

I'd say these peaks a bit too high to be cool.
For me it looks really strange.
