Latency Spike Every 60 Seconds (BEFW11s4 Router)

[gerrybhoy]

I've installed a wireless network in my home recently using a BEFW11S4 router and WUSB11V26 receiver, it works fine in general but gives a huge latency spike every 60 Seconds. Does anybody know the cause/solution to this.
I've tried enabling/disabling WEP but no effect.

Disable 802.1x authentication on the client.

 

[gerrybhoy]

Authentication was already disabled, also tried with it enabled but no difference.

 

[bcastner]

Please, leave the 802.1x disabled on the client side.

The spike you are measuring, is this a NetStumbler reading? If so, ignore it.

The spike shows in a couple of ping tools I downloaded from the web (vping & pinger) it is also present in on-line games and renders these unplayable(how I first noticed it). I don't believe it was present when I had a wired connection to the router, though this would be hard to re-check as I would need 40ft+ ethernet cable to re-try after moving my PC.

Do a traceping. You have to determine if the latency is on your end, or on your ISPs end.

Also, since you cannot use the WPA features, remove the WPA Hotfix if your client is Windows XP. Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, the Hotfix you need to remove is: Q815485.

I've ran multiple tracepings, I have pasted a typical one below, but they don't show any bias as to where the latency is happening. Is there any tools I can use to chart traceping, as the problem happens on a 60Second cycle.(very difficult to catch using 'tracert').

Is there anything I can do to measure the data rate just between the router and the network adapter over a time period.

Also the hotfix you mentioned is not present on my PC.

I eventually found the solution to my problem, disable
windows wireless zero configuration tool, it drops the connection every sixty seconds or so to listen for others.

Thanks to anybody who responded.
