        It means that the round trip ping time to the gateway on your WAN connection became higher than the pre-set threshold (normally 200ms) triggering an alarm that was then cancelled as the ping time went down again.

        See: https://github.com/Jajcus/apinger/blob/master/README

        Edit: There is no harm in having these warnings in the logs but if it is spamming your logs or causing disconnects (very high ping time) you can set higher thresholds in System: Routing: Gateways:
        Edit the gateway and go to Advanced.
