Hey all,
I recently upgraded to a SSD and put shiny new copies of Windows 7 and Arch Linux on it. The problem is with my Windows install. This is a screencap that shows my problem pretty nicely. My latency spikes 3-5 times a minute, at no specific interval. It does this all the time. This was a long series of pings to my own router, and so I know that the issue is not my ISP or anything like that. And it only happens in Windows 7.
My first instinct was that there is a driver issue, but I'm using the latest drivers from the manufacturer's support site. I've tried to disable the service that autoscans for networks periodically, but a) that broke my connection completely and b) that shouldn't be an issue when Windows 7 is connected to the highest priority wireless network. I also turned off my computer's firewall to no avail.
Note again that this is pretty much a fresh install. I've got Steam and a few other things that I use for school and work on here, but nothing that really eats bandwidth (unless I tell it to).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This has really been frustrating me over the past few days!
Relevant specs:
Windows 7 64-bit, SP1
Belkin Wireless N+ USB adapter, F5D8055
