I tried now with wireless-testing from yesterday, and had the same problem. Actually, I got even *better* results: 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=75 ttl=255 time=137856 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=76 ttl=255 time=136848 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_req=78 ttl=255 time=134943 ms ... rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.110/46967.879/137856.232/49666.671 ms, pipe 138 So now we are mdev of 50secs sometimes ;-) Another interesting things: At home I have the problems with the NEC router, but I am now at the university. I am writing this email over a very very stable ssh link to another server.
