The latency used to be around 65 - 80ms before last Wed.
But from the trace log above, the latency become so high(>200ms) with node 219.117.144.57 & 219.117.147.194.

Also, there is around 15 - 37% of packet loss with these two nodes(these two nodes are registerd and managed by Japan Network Information Center SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.)
i'm pretty sure this have no business with my network at home and my local ISP.

Please check if there is any network issue with these two nodes.

Good morning peacecome, thank you for the updated reply.

We kindly ask if you could try disabling background applications and do a clean boot by opening the task manager and selecting the “Start up” tab. Then, disable everything under this tab and restart the PC. Additionally, please be sure to have the Operating System and Internet Explorer most up to date as well to see if this may help resolve the issue.
