Just installed a AC7260 wireless card in my desktop to replace a tp-link Wireless N card I had and have been getting latency spikes up to 200ms pretty regularly every ~1 min or so.

I have updated firmware/drivers on all network related gear and reset everything several times. System worked great before with the wireless N card, but I really dont want to have to go backwards for stability.

Router: Asus RT-AC66R
Adapter: Intel Wifi AC7260 with Bluetooth desktop card (latest 16.10.0.0 drivers)
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
ISP: FIOS 70/30

To give you an idea of what my issue is, this is what it looks like when I do a ping -t.

At the moment you have No clue whether this is generated by your system or out there on the Internet.

Run a similar test between the Wireless computer and another wired computer on your LAN.

Click to expand...

The wired computer got 0 lag spikes connecting to the internet, and the wireless computer pinging the wired one continued the same pattern of a latency spike once every minute or so.

I've tried disabling roaming in the driver settings as I saw someone suggest that elsewhere, but it did not seem to help either.

EDIT:

So the 7260 card is definitely the issue somehow, it has latency issues on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz after further testing.
