How To Reduce Time-To-Live (TTL) Setting On Wireless Network

  • 4

hi guys , i’m having a very strange issue , when i ping any device connected to our access points i recive very high TTL time “more than 1000 ms” , our lan is fine , pinging any where will not exceed “2 ms” , have in mind that we are using unified D_link WiFi controller with 6600 Dlink access points ,

i tried upgrading the firmware for all the mentioned devices , nothing changed.

also i checked the power saving modes , noting changes .

no dropped packets reported .

  1. pinging a wireless connected device then you will start getting the High Respond Time

    Wireless has inherent issues with lag and latency so you can expect slower responses when accessing a wifi network from a LAN and vice versa. But, 1000 ms ping response times are way higher than I would expect.

    I’m not at all familiar with your wireless devices but that’s where I would start looking for issues if it were me.

    The first question that comes to my mind is, how is performance when going from one wifi client to another? Are the ping responses as slow as when you go from the wired network to the wireless? How about when you go from wifi to wired? Run a few ping tests and get back to us with the results.

    It matters not how straight the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul.
