Hello from 3-4 days till now I am struggling with my wireless connection. The strength of the signal actually is good, the download and the upload speeds are not affected but I am dealing with delayed packets which in games results in warping and freezing which is not really pleasant. My connection is Wireless and I dont have this issue in the other computer. The problem is not persistent and occurs from time to time in the middle of a game for example. It doesn't occur only at particular time of the day it is just random. I thought that someone is DDoSing me but I don't know how to track or see if it is happening. When I ping particular server with which i have problem the Average Approximate round trip in milli-seconds is between: 80-170. When I am playing with smooth connection it is around 50ms.

Laptop model: Acer Aspire F5-572G-72CI
Router model: TP-LINK TL-WR740N
Modem model: Cisco EPC3208
Specifications:
- Qualcomm Atheros QCAA9377 Wireless Network Adapter
- Driver Version 4.0.2.217 (Up to date)
- Windows 10

Update:
I used a netstat command to see the established connections with me and I found a lot of IPs with similar ports. Is that a sign of DDoS attack and if it is what should I do??

You can't see any attacks with commands on your PC since they can't get past your router...assuming you are not stupid and put your pc in the DMZ.

Everything you have in that post is likely some garbage in browsers. Lots of tracking scripts and ads connecting to lots of useless sites. maybe you just have lots of tabs open in the browser. When you run games you want all other software stopped on your machine.

Still i can be purely a issue with wireless interference. This is why you see everyone say never play games on wireless. Open a cmd window and run a continuous ping to your router ip. When you see problems in the game see if you see a problems with packet delays and loss in the ping window. There is very little you can do about wireless interference. Can be someone in a car driving by using wireless but more likely a neighbor using their wireless to do something like download a file that causes more data than normal.

Today when I started the computer I checked again the established connections and half of them were there with nothing started except the programs on startup which are: Avira Antivirus, Lightshot, Intel HD Gtaphics, Nvidia experience and MEGA (cloud service). I tried to continuously ping my router (if I am not mistaken it is done this way "ping 192.168.0.1 -t") and the response time vary on every 3-4 responses with low response time 2-10ms there is at least 1 delayed with 100 and more MS which again resulted in little "lag spikes". Last night I hadn't problems at all but today... I assume that the most logical cause is wireless interference because I am living in a block with a lot of apartments, consequently a greater number of routers affecting my connection which is sad if there isn't a way to cope with this problem.
