Hey, I’m not sure what is wrong with your WiFi, but something fixable is probably wrong. I can run speedtest.net (on my roughly 70/10 connection) while pinging my router (an Archer C7 running OpenWRT which is roughly across the living room—I have a home network with one AP at each end of the apartment) over WiFi and the ping time never exceeds 4ms. I live in an apartment with dozens of other visible networks.
You might want to check that it’s using 802.11ac with 5 GHz on a not crowded channel, check that the signal strength looks good, make sure your client network drivers are up to date, check whether you have router hardware/software known for poor performance under load or bufferbloat problems, etc.
(edit: I notice you say that the router is three rooms away—my guess is that the signal strength is just really bad and if you put an access point in between you could make it much better.)
All the channels here are crowded (I count 22 SSIDs) and the cable comes into the house far enough from my desk that, yes, the signal strength is bad. Adding an AP that’s closer would still involve running wires, and if I’m doing that I might as well go all the way since that will also help with interference.

Where do you get that information?
