For the past 2 weeks my ping has been spiking every 10 seconds or so. I am using WiFi and the internet seems to be fine when i am wired up so i know it's a WiFi problem. I would always be wired up if i could but in my current situation i have to use WiFi. I have no idea what this problem could be. I've tried many things and am currently trying to get my ISP to help me with this but they aren't helping much. I want to make a service appointment to get some more help but i'd prefer to avoid that if i could. I know that i could be environmental but i have no idea how to fix it or pinpoint the problem. Distance doesn't affect it either. Any response would be appreciated and if anyone needs any more information just let me know.

Here are my specs
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Kingston Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
Case: Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

and here is the WiFi adapter i am using. Could this be outdated?

Might be channel crosstalk with another wifi router in the area. Might try changing your routers channel, Also check for any malware on your sytem. Spybot, Antimalware, superantispybot. You might hook up to its ethernet port and test ping times while your hardwired to make sure its your PC, or the router. Might also do some traceroutes. That can help you ascertain where in the line your getting high ping times.

Changing channels did not appear to help. I have checked for malware and that sadly didn't lead anywhere. A had my router replaced in the middle of this entire issue and the problem persisted so i don't think it has anything to do with the router.

Im just going to throw this out there, we have the exact same specs, along with the exact same adapter, and the exact same problem. My conclusion is that we may have an issue with the CPU or Motherboard disliking or not running well with the Adapter or vise versa. Here is my latency test results through CMD from PC to router:

As you can see around every 10-20 seconds I have a huge spike to around 2500-3250ms. This makes some of my games such as garrys mod or other server ran games render unplayable due to them freezing every 10 seconds for 2 seconds. I know this might not seem very helpful but just an interesting bit of info I figured I would put out there.
