Hello!

I recently built my new computer, and it uses a wireless USB card. I've had it for about two months now, and up until about a week ago, everything ran perfectly.

However, recently, I've gotten massive ping spikes in CS:GO (900 - 1000 ms) every few minutes and it's making the game unplayable. I'm not sure how to start looking for the problem, although I've tired resetting my router and trying different Wireless cards on my computer. I also don't seem to have this issue on my laptop, so I'm fairly sure it's on my desktop.

Thanks!

It can be an assortment of different issues.

1. Router sucks, can't handle the amount of requests
2. Bad wifi card
3. Desktop too far away

I think its a problem with your wifi card though, a lot of PCIE/USB wifi cards drop connection occasionally
