Is it my room's location, the computers, or the router? (Or maybe the modem/provider) I've always had this problem since I moved upstairs. Out of nowhere, for usually no reason at all, my ping spikes and the internet's slower than a snail. Normally ping's at about 20ms and then it spikes to the 200-900s for seemingly no reason at all. I close all applications in the background and nothing should slowing it down. Downstairs, with an Ethernet, there's never any problem. How would I go about identifying the source of my issue?

So now you are using wireless at a distance from the main router? If so, you are experiencing that weak aspect of wireless, it sucks when you stress it at all at any distance (like over 10 feet from the router) -- gaming, streaming and the like.
You have three choices to fix it (in order of preference): run an Ethernet cable, use a pair of AV1200 powerline adapters (recommend the TP-Link 8010 set for around $50 on sale), or if you have lots of money set up a pair of newer AC routers with one in media bridge mode in your room ($450-800 expensive though).
