Ugh. WiFi signals aren't the best in my A/V cabinet, so I ran G.hn powerline to it. This works great 98% of the time, but occasionally there will be something that blocks traffic for a short period of time, and those things must have huge buffers.
If I'm e.g. watching Netflix when there is a hiccup, I see ping times of over a minute! I wrote a program that monitors ping times and reboots the G.hn adapters when they get too high and the problem mostly went away. I tried a couple different brands of adapters, but they are all obviously the same firmware.

You are probably using channels that interfere with radar and when a router detects the radar, it should shutdown for a minute or so.
- aidenn0 3y agoDoes that apply to G.hn? I thought it was only WiFi on the 5Ghz band?
- withinboredom 3y agoAh, I read it as though you switched to G.hn because of wifi issues and thought you were describing that issue.
