Router keeps lagging, anyone know why?

Every now and then my Billion 7800N decides it will start to lag and I can't figure out why.  This is what it's doing tonight:

Re: Router keeps lagging, anyone know why?

Routers do sometimes do that as responding to pings is one of the lowest activity tasks - it doesn't always mean there is something wrong, just that it's got something more important to do. You are better testing to a server in the Plusnet data centre where the gateways are located.
Try pinging ntp.plus.net.
