Could you supply the article number or reference the original
question? I failed to find any reference to a problem or previous
posting.

Incidentally, the router is usually 192.168.1.1. If you run:
Start -> run -> cmd <enter>
ipconfig
the router IP address is the one on the "default gateway" line. I
think you're pinging your own workstation, and not router. It's very
rare that the wireless latency is less than 1msec, while this is very
common for pinging your own IP. Try again.

I think it depends on the particular wireless router and its load --
I'm pretty sure I've seen pinging of a wireless router with time<1ms,
although the one I'm currently on is time=1ms:
