Hey Apple devs,Has anyone encountered ping spikes on macOS when using WiFi? When you run a constant ping, it looks like this…64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=502 ttl=128 time=1.443 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=503 ttl=128 time=3.007 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=504 ttl=128 time=1.684 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=505 ttl=128 time=186.861 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=506 ttl=128 time=69.545 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=507 ttl=128 time=141.434 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=508 ttl=128 time=24.043 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=509 ttl=128 time=2.961 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=510 ttl=128 time=1.827 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=511 ttl=128 time=1.171 msSeems to happen reliably when you open the WiFi menu bar on High Sierra. Other apps can cause this too.I think others are seeing this issue too (especially gamers):https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/263638/macbook-pro-experiencing-ping-spikes-to-local-routerAs well as games, real time network apps like Synergy suffer too:https://symless.com/help/mac-wifi-lagCheers,Nick
