Every x minutes ping failure (PING: transmit failed. General failure)

I've got some problems with my home network. I tried a few things, but it is not solved yet. I am using Windows 10.

First, I will explain the situation. It is not the best network alignement, but it is not possible in another way. I will order the devices form main router to my pc in the correct order, with IP adresses.

1. Main router (192.168.178.1)
2. Second router (192.168.178.199)
3. Antenna 1 (192.168.178.35)
4. Antenna 2 (192.168.178.37)
5. Third router (192.168.178.200)
6. My PC (192.168.178.22) (Router should give IP ..178.150, bounded with MAC-adres).

Ofcourse all devices have a static IP-address. I also use as DNS server

My problem is that I've got regularly an error message in my CMD windows, when I use the command 'ping -t'. I do not know where this error comes from. This occurs every 15 to 60 minutes. Pinging to my main router does not give fail messages.

If I use the trace route commend to google.com, this is the output:

 1 25 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.178.1 2 8 ms 7 ms 8 ms XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (IP address of provider) 3 42 ms 8 ms 9 ms asn-rc0002-cr101-xe-0-1-0-0.core.as9143.net [213.51.184.172] 4 41 ms 13 ms 13 ms asd-tr0042-cr101-ae52-0.core.as9143.net [213.51.158.20] 5 40 ms 12 ms 14 ms 72.14.203.144 6 39 ms 14 ms 14 ms 108.170.241.161 7 14 ms 14 ms 13 ms 216.239.42.69 8 14 ms 13 ms 12 ms ams15s21-in-f4.1e100.net [216.58.212.132]

I have tried to use the DNS servers of Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), but it doesn't seem to help.

I also tried the next commands: ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release

Restarted the pc several times, even as antenna 2 and third router. Enabling IPv6 on my network card gives my only Transmit Failed errors.

Pinging to whsserver is also giving general failure.

If I made a mistake in my configuration, please let me know. If you need extra information, just ask and I will provide that information.

If you can help me, that would be awesome.

Thanks for looking in to my problem.

Looks like I found the solution. Just a simple update of my network controller. I ran a first ping to and the max ping time was 48ms. I will run a command this night and will see tomorrow if the problem was really solved. I have also checked the pre-assigned DHCP IP-addresses on my router and my PC was not reserved. I changed this and now I am getting the right IP address.

EDITIt both didn't solve the problem. When looking better into the settings of the main router, I discovered that de DHCP lease time was set to 60 minutes. I have changed it now to one day. Hope all the problems are solved now.
