The error seems to start at the 5th point.

@RageBall

The error appears to be right at the start , the graph can be saved as a JPG and inserted here too.

1 120 2 1.7 1 40 2

this should be always

1 120 0 0 1 1 2 for example

@RageBall

Here is one of my old pingplots , I am with iinet as well 🙂  notice hop 1 is 0 and no packet loss , wireless I expect normally 1 -3 ms

This help a bit more?

Yeah I see now, it's actually jumped a bit.

@RageBall

A jump at the start will have a major affect on everything downstream, graph is best done when the lag is occurring so can see the spiking

Yeah snowball effect. Pretty plain as day there it's an issue here.  

Strange  though, basically brand new adapter. Not a cheap one either.

Also that 2nd graph was while the lag was occurring. Am currently ingame and alt-tabbed the second a major lag spike hit.

@RageBall

That jitter of 13ms at hop 1 is likely related to what you are seeing in-game

Trying a different wirless adapter / wireless channel would be my first steps

@RageBall

Try a clean install of the latest driver for it too.

@RageBall

If its a dual adapter try switching between 5Ghz to 2.4Ghz range as well ..

Give me 10 minutes, gonna try another wireless channel and a clean install. 

On another note, did a PingPlot direct to my router and that's just reinforced the fact.

@proxos666

Have changed wireless channel, have swapped from 5GhZ to 2.4 and have done a clean install of drivers. Still seem to be having this issue with ping between computer and router. 

Adapter is a D-Link AC1200. Brand new all of 3 months ago, think that is the problem?

@proxos666

I'm reluctant to say I fixed the issue but I have made some headway. Previously I had my mouter (modem/router) plugged into the phone socket in the bedroom. 

Ran some speedtests at that location and then relocated mouter to the kitchen. Ran a few more tests and noticed an instant 20% increase in speed as well as a much more stable connection. I still experience a few spikes here and there but substantially less noticeable and less severe. More in keeping with a standard wireless network.

Ran pingplotter for the SWTOR server and while still not ideal it seemed a lot better.

Hopped ingame and game works just fine. Still a few lag spikes while playing but nothing that makes the game unplayable.

Would still benefit from a direct IP connection to mouter but for now I'm pretty happy with the result.

Thanks for all the help man.
