have Verizon Fios and use the Actiontec router that they give you. So about a year or so ago I had a problem where my internet would drop out every few minutes. I contacted Verizon and they sent me a new router, and all was well until about last week. It came back. It only does this on Wireless, and anyone on Ethernet is unaffected. I have power cycled, which provided a temporary fix. Any help to make this stop?

This happens in all applications (including games like csgo and Rocket League), here's a ping test I ran:

I'm not too experience at networking but I've had this kind of problem as well. It ended up being my wireless card being faulty. Try check your wireless card while leaving the router alone? Hopefully this helps and good luck!

Definitely not this. The ping spikes on all my PC's devices using wireless.
