So when I play any game, my ping will rise up to about 400 for about 3-4 minutes. And yes, I am using Ethernet. Then I have upwards of 45 minutes to 30 minutes in between where I can play flawlessly. My brother has a PS4 on the same network but this ping issue did not happen before while he was on my network. I went and changed my channel from my router login site and it didn't help. Any help would be spectacular. Thank you in advance!

Some gamers claim that changing your DNS to Google's or OpenDNS' can help with ping, maybe try disabling QoS in the router, and determine the optimal MTU which should be either 1500 if you are on cable or 1492 for PPPoE
