Wired or wireless? what is your router?

do you have any camera sending live images on your network?

any other device sending updates of some sort?

Wireless, and this just started happening about 2 weeks ago...
I usually get around 15 ping solid.
my router is Bell Home Hub 1000

What are you testing your ping against?

VorTexGaming · Jan 5, 2017

I've pinged it to my router and google.ca and youtube.ca
I get around the same ping except the ping before the spike is lower

Do you get the spike when pinging your router? If so can you post a screenshot?
If it is happening just pinging your router than it is entirely an internal issue, could be something interfering with the wireless signal.

It just randomly jumps to 900ms or 1000ms

Snipergod87 · Jan 5, 2017

Ok, yikes that is quite the jump to 900ms, Do you have other wireless devices that have the same issue, or is it just your computer? Do you live in a house or an apartment building? (Apartment building tend to have a boat load of wireless networks)

VorTexGaming · Jan 5, 2017

Snipergod87 :

Yeah, I live in a apartment

VorTexGaming · Jan 5, 2017

Snipergod87 :

I'll get my laptop and see if it is having the same issue

VorTexGaming · Jan 5, 2017

Snipergod87 :

So it was ok for like 20 or more seconds and then just started lagging like my pc

and.... nobody replied ;(

The spikes on your laptop are significantly less than the ones on your desktop by a huge amount, but they are still undesirable. It is very difficult to troubleshoot wireless performance issues as there are many variables (different wireless NIC's, potential driver issues), interference from other close by wireless networks, interference due to walls and other objects.
Since this started happening has there been any change as to what is between you and the wireless router?
Also if you take your laptop and put it next to the wireless router do you still see the same issue?

VorTexGaming · Jan 6, 2017

Snipergod87 :

ok, so I brought it up to my router and I actually think its interference because its not getting the extreme ping spikes

VorTexGaming · Jan 6, 2017

Snipergod87 :

also I accidentally selected a solution...

Snipergod87 · Jan 6, 2017

Thats fine, I figured it would have been some soft of wireless interference, If you know how to you can try changing wireless Channels your devices are using. Also are you connected to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? 5Ghz has less traffic higher throughput but reduced range

VorTexGaming · Jan 6, 2017

I'm using 2.4ghz, also this is some stuff
don't know what it means...

and I've seen a bunch of stuff about changing the wireless channel but I'm not sure which one I should try...

Snipergod87 · Jan 6, 2017

In your case I would try channel 1, which network is yours?. The only real channel options are 1,6,11 because if choosing 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,13 would overlap with at least two other frequency bands.

I'm kinda confused, right now I'm just changing my password but until then
I'm usinga software called wifiinfoview to try to find my wifi channel rn
and it says Channels range 4-12
