To start off, i have a net gear router.. Ok so i am trying to play Black ops 3 and every 30 seconds to a minute i will have a lag spike where i lag back about 10 steps.. Then i will be completely fine until the next lag spike.. it will continue for hours or until i get kicked off of the internet completely and have to reboot the router..after i reboot the router the internet will work perfectly without a hiccup for 15-20 minutes and then the lag spikes will start again.. I was wondering if anyone had any idea why it is doing this or how to fix it? Any help is appreciated! If you need any additional info feel free to ask!
Internet troubles.. Please help

You need to rule out possible causes. Try them in whatever order turns you on
1) Bypass router and connect wired to the modem and see how you do.
2) Run cleaners on your PC (Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner - both free)
Let me know how that goes

Open the task manager and monitor your cpu usage, ram usage, hard drive usage, and network usage. If any of these show a spike during the ... lag spikes then we can investigate further. To open the task manager press control+alt+delete and click open task manager. The performance tab and the resource monitor are the important buttons to click.

Ok here are a few hints to try to improve your situation.
First of all, on most computers running windows you will have a software firewall.
This can be Microsoft firewall, or found in Microsoft security center of windows.
In most routers you also have a hardware firewall that by default should be enabled.
If you wish to use the hardware firewall of your router, and it is enabled.
Turn off your windows based firewall.
Set the security level of the hardware firewall in your router to medium.
Check in the router that Upnp mode is also enabled
Use google to find out what port numbers must be setup in your router when playing Bo3.
Get the IP address your router has assigned your machine ie: 192.168.0.X X being the number of your machine.
All devices connected to the router will be listed along with the IP the router assigned them, with the name of your computer beside it.
And can be found in the routers menu pages or status page.
Now look for the port forwarding section in your routers software firmware menus.
Input a name such as BO3 1
Then the IP the router gave your pc on the network.
Set the protocol the port uses UDP, TCP or Both, input the port number.
Click apply then set up a new name, putting the same ip address in, and the protocol type with the new port number used.
Do this till you have added all of the port addresses along with the protocols used and your Ip of your machine.
Exit the router once you have applied all of the settings.
Run BO3 and see if the lag problems have gone away.
