Hi,
is it normal to get 30ms average when pinging my hAP ax lite using WiFi ?
Ping statistics for 192.168.88.1:
Packets: Sent = 500, Received = 500, Lost = 0 (0% loss)
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1.6 ms, Maximum = 182.4 ms, Average = 30.5 ms
No, it is absolutely not.
Maybe high interference or defective device? bad connection on the antennas (client or wap?)
hard to say, but If you are near the device, that should absolute not be normal.

Hi,
device is new.
It has embedded antennas.
Is there any check by the device to change frequency if there are too many interference ?
After reboot, latency dropped to 15ms, that is still high compared to my other access point (5ms)
Can you export your config ? Maybe something that you configured is making this problem.
Have several of this routers and never experienced this problem.
To export config go to: Winbox → Terminal and there input: export file=anynameyouwish and press enter. Then go to Files where you will find your newly created file with .rsc extension.
Copy that to PC, open in notepad, remove sensitive information such as public ip, serial number, keys from VPNs etc.

thank you for your reply, here is the rsc file content :

This is default config as far as I can see. But I noticed you are running ROS 7.8
For start update to 7.13.2, and don’t forget to update LTE FW and test again.
updated to 7.13.2 but I cannot update LTE Firmware from 16121.1034.00.01.01.03 to 16121.1034.00.01.01.04
I tried this CLI command but no change:
[admin@MikroTik] /interface/lte> firmware-upgrade lte1 upgrade=yes once
status: downloading
I also tried using GUI but no change.
Can it be done while LTE interface is running ?
please help

Without LTE firmware upgrade I have better results

But my other APs give me 5 ms average
FW update is done while LTE interface is running. Did you maybe try with multiple devices ? And what ping are you getting if you connect wired device ?
Yes, I did try LTE firmware upgrade using LTE interface but it still fails.
I have the same bad ping round trip time with another device

Using LAN cable I have normal ping results :

Any idea so far ?
Only thing left to try is to netinstall device, so clean ROS. After that try ping with default SSID that come with device.
If you still see ping that high i would suggest you to reach for mikrotik support, provide them with supout.rif file and describe what did you try. Then they will advise you what to do next.
For now we can’t rule out hardware error… But first try netinstall to latest stable ROS which is 7.13.2
I have raised an official ticket on Mikrotik support site, let’s see what comes.
Cheers
