Why the sudden and regular ping spikes?

What could be causing these regular ping spikes as seen in BQM?

All was fine until around 1900 on 16.12.2025

Super Hub 3 in modem mode with an Asus router

[removed - image/personal info]

prior to this date the pings were good

Pinging a remote site (bbc.com) from a command prompt is typically under 20ms. but my tests may not be coinciding with the spikes

 

TIA

    So, after reverting to modem mode and tidying things up it seems to be back to normal. Not sure why, but I'm going to leave it alone!

    Thanks for the advice.

    Could be a update on the Asus router?

    If you copy your router WAN MAC to PC NIC you can change over with your PC to hub and allow ICMP inbound on firewall to setup a new BQM for checking.

      Thanks, I'll look into that.

      I did try reverting the Hub back to hub mode, but it doesn;t accept WAN pings :-(

       

      Also, thanks to admin for removing the images, I didn't spot the small text IP addresses.

        You need to allow the Hubs firewall to respond and also in Router mode the WAN IP is different.
