Running into a strange issue that started a few days ago. Noticed higher than usual latency between our branch offices. Running various ping tests I noticed that pings to the WAN (GE0/0) interface are much lower than the LAN (GE0/1) interface on our external 2901 router; a 35+ms difference. This router has a basic config & has been in place for several years. It's well past its hardware refresh date, so replacing it certainly is an option.
Checking the CPU & memory usage reveals nothing out of the ordinary. Attached is a sanitized config & sh int txt file.

I cycled the power on the router but am still seeing the high latency. I've ordered a replacement. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

I should have noted that I did reboot the router. I did not, however, completely disconnect the power then power it back on.

Yes, the pings are from the outside. I'll double check the shaper policy but that was put in place after the issue began occurring.

We haven't had this issue in the past. We have a basic connectivity monitor setup which graphs the latency between our sites. Several days ago the latency for all locations jumped. Initially I thought it was an issue with my provider, but after discovering the increased latency described above, it looks like that router is having issues.
