Hi!

Recently I see pings like this from the router to WLAN clients:

root@openwrt:/# ping one
PING one (192.168.2.115): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.2.115: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=2929.8 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.115: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=1936.7 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.2.115: icmp_seq=9 ttl=128 time=1.7 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.115: icmp_seq=10 ttl=128 time=1.7 ms

--- one ping statistics ---
11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.7/944.6/2929.8 ms

So the ping times vary between normal (1-2 ms) and ... abnormal (several seconds).
This happens wirth all clients (and one WDS connected router).

What could be the reason? Radio dying?

The WLAN clients are in the next room, while the other router is across the street on a (cold) attic. We have -10C here now. The attic should be ebove that, but still a bit cold.

Any ideas?

The router is Asus WL-500g Deluxe.

Regards,
David
