Yeah I was testing out my new home internet service provider and seeing ping from my Macbook to the internet that was all over the place. I got worried and tried from my router - totally normal, so phew. Later on I remembered this experience and realised something must be up with my wifi. Very long story short, nothing is wrong with my wifi but everything is wrong with my household of Apple devices. Ping from my router to anything non-Apple on wifi is rock solid. Ping from router to any Apple device (computers, phones, Apple TV) is a mess with periods of stable low latency mixed with random stretches fluctuating between 70 and 250ms. This is really, really bad isn’t it? Like it would render Apple a complete no go for latency sensitive gaming. It would also explain why despite the fact that I have what I think is a good home network (an ISP with great routing, MikroTik + bridged Eeros, cake running on my WAN link tested with flent rrul), the internet just feels slow sometimes. Pages load slowly one second and not the next, Airplay to my Sonos speakers drops out under specific conditions etc. Unfortunately I can’t pick channels with Eero so now I am considering changing my access points just to see if it fixes this issue. I feel a bit crazy doing this, but when looking back I’ve rationalised a lot of weird slow internet behaviour to my own error, eg not knowing exactly how to configure cake properly perhaps.
