Ping spikes on new install

Kyraksi

Hi all, this is my first pfSense build and have noticed some issues with ping spikes while gaming. The issue is not severe - it seems that I have random ping spikes (around three in my last test of 100 pings to 8.8.8.8 ). The latency will be around 24 or 25 and then will shoot up to the hundreds or even 200 ms then go straight back down again.

Hi,

Delayed answer, but in case someone else is struckling with same problem…

I had exactly same issue for months, and tried to find cause from every component in network. Yet it was my pfsense hardware afterall.

Solution:
disable 'Monitor M-Wait' in bios
Could be under Features tab > CPU Configuration

At least work with my Zotac Ci-327
