I just recently moved into a new apartment and I have been trying to play online games, mainly League of Legends, but the ping has been wildly unstable(around 100 normally, when it should be around 35, and spikes constantly to 2-300+) and it makes the game unplayable for me. Originally I thought that it was just because I was on a wireless connection, however I bought an ethernet cable and plugged it in and the ping is still extremely unstable and high(same as before, usually around 100 with just as wild spikes). When I run a speedtest I have around 17 ping to the nearest server and 50 up and down, so I didn't expect to be having any problems.
Another example to hopefully help visualize the issues I am having is when I try to download things on steam the speed is not bad, it is downloading games at between 2 and 5 mbps, however it is incredibly choppy, it seems to download for a few seconds and then the speed drops to 0 again for a few seconds. Here is a screenshot: Steam Download
Along with that many streaming services such as twitch, hbogo, youtube, and netflix are also pretty choppy when I use them.
It is extremely frustrating because I am using a wired connection and I've never experienced this many problems on a wire before.
To further explain my setup here is what I have: I have an ethernet cable plugged into my computer via an ethernet to USB adapter(my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port), and then the ethernet cable is plugged into a router which is then plugged into the wall. There are 4 people using the router, however even when it is just me the problems persist.
Any help or advice would be great, thanks in advance!
Edit: looking at other threads they suggested pinging common servers to assess the situation so I have pinged 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2, results here: Result
