UPDATE : So on the network adapter I changed the signal from b/g/n to just b/g and it worked! I played a game and.. ping spikes 
I reset the linksys completely, connected it to the arris and then and connected my pc wirelessly to the linksys. Ping stable. Internet not as fast as I think it should be but whatever.
Still frustrated and I need a better solution.
ORIGINAL POST
So I got an ARRIS router from my ISP which did not have QOS and port forwarding.. as such when I was playing online games and everyone else was watching youtube or whatever, my ping would spike.
I connected a linksys e900 and set all of that up, no issues.
So I removed the linksys and every device in my house has internet via the arris EXCEPT my PC. It's connecting but not getting internet.
I tried rebooting it and my pc, uninstalling and reinstalling my network card, dns flush, all of the usual suggestions but still it won't work.
I set its IP address and DNS manually, I copied the DNS address off of my laptop but nothing. I'm at my wits end now and very frustrated. Yesterday I reconnected my linksys and lo and behold, my phone wouldn't get internet but my PC would.
It may be worth it to mention that I am unable to ping the arris router.
A bit of background as to why I removed the linksys - my download speed on it is 10mbs and my download speed when connected to the arris is about 25mbs.
Now I think that the linksys router is starting to go bad, because the internet would lag or I'd get ping spikes and restarting it would fix the problem.
Please help!
