Windows 10 RDP connection ping timeout every 10 pings
Hi,
In our lab I have 5 identical desktop computers with a wireless network connection (all same brand/same model/same software/bought on the same date)
We normally connect to these using RDP. 4 of those work absolutely perfectly. The 5th has a weird problem:
If I connect to this desktop computer using RDP and start a ping -t servername in a command window (on that desktop computer), every 10th ping either gets a "request timed out" or has a very high (>3000) time value while the others typically have 2 or 3ms. This results in serious lag when using our engineering software.
What could be the problem? Anyone have any ideas?

generally wireless connections share the bandwidth of the router and therefore are second choice for desktop computers.

Hi,
I switched the USB Wireless network dongle with the pc next to it (which didn't have any problems) and the problem persisted.
Then reinstalled the driver on the problematic pc and now it seems to work.
Never had that happen before: usually with driver problems it either works or doesn't work, but this time every 10th ping packet was either timed out or very very very slow.
Thanks for the comments.
