As you can see, these ping times are absolute insanity. Now look, my wireless hygiene isn't the best. I could probably find a better place for my router or move it to the second floor of the house. But this is just ridiculous. There is so little information online about these stupid router/modem combos and I've exhausted my ability to diagnose the problem. Please. Any insight into why this is happening would be appreciated.

Edit: This problem has been happening for months. I have tried changing the router's wireless channel. Unfortunately there are 5 or 6 routers each on 1, 6, and 11, so I opted for 9 with few results.
