For about a week, I have been experiencing lag spikes about every couple of seconds. When I pinged my router and google, they were the same. I was wondering if it might be my computer or something else? I originally assumed it was my router and replaced it (it was 6 years old), but I am still experiencing the same problem. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It can be anything that disrupts the wireless signal. Can be a person walking around the room even. It generally is some other electronic device either inside or outside your house producing a signal that interferes with the communication between your router and your PC.

Intermittent ones that happen for extremely short periods of time are extremely hard to locate. Pretty much you would need something like a spectrum analyzer that would display the signals and then hope to be able to actually locate it. Still what can you do if it were something like weather radar that causes it every time the beam sweeps though your house.

In most cases this is just something you learn to live with in wireless. Small intermittent spikes like...

In most cases this is just something you learn to live with in wireless. Small intermittent spikes like that cause no issues for most applications. Online games tend to be affected but generally it must be much worse than you are seeing to have much affect even in a game.
