Major increase in latency in couple years of Fixed Wireless

We're here to assist with the high latency you are experiencing, @Borlin!

First, we recommend that your view our article that covers High Latency & Ping. It has helpful tips such as what is acceptable per our standards, how to rule out various causes of high latency, and understanding your traceroute!

If this is happening with specific sites or games, we do recommend running a traceroute and sharing the results here. This way we can go over them and see if it's o our end, or the game/sites end.

If you have a 2Wire/Pace gateway, use these steps:

1. Type http://192.168.1.254 to access the gateway
2. Select Settings > Diagnostics > IP Utilities

If you have an NVG/Motorola model, use thses steps:

1. Type http://192.168.1.254 to access the gateway
2. Select Diagnostics

Let us know the results once the test is ran! This way we cna provide more personalized troubleshooting.

I’ve went through IP utilities through the router interface. I’ve done complete factory resets. I’ve switched transfer cables and nothing has resolved. I’ve had numerous techs come out to my location and re locate the fixed wireless antenna. I believe this is an issue that is outside of my hands. Probably AT&T allowing too many people on their towers. I feel like the towers near my house are congested majority of the day/night, even early mornings around 3-4am.

But I would love to post a traceroute when I get some time that way you might be able to assist me more from there! Thank you for the reply Caleb

Thanks for sharing that information with us, @Borlin. 

Please let us know once you run the traceroute as that will let us know what next steps we'll need to take to further help with the major increase in latency that you've been experiencing lately. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the trace route information, Borlin. Let's look at your high ping and latency together. 

What we are going to do is bring this conservation into the AT&T Direct Message space. In just a few moments you will see a chat icon next to a bell icon, in the upper right part of the thread, and next to your forums profile icon. Our next message to you will appear right there. 

If you do not see the next message right away, please log out of your forums account and back in. 

Looking forward to resolving this high ping and latency with you.
