Hello guys!

For a few days now I have been getting very high ping spikes through my router for about ten seconds at a time every ten minutes or so, I am using a wired connection to the router. I have an Archer C5 router but I have also tried with another router and have the same problem. When I am connected directly to the modem, this does not occur. I have tried changing the DNS settings on my PC as well as checking MTU, I can pass packets of up to 1472 bytes, I have 1500 set on my router config. I have not the faintest idea of what could be causing this.

I personally do not think my issue is modem or ISP related because I get absolutely no spikes when I am connected to my modem, this only occurs through a router.

If anybody has any possible solutions for my problem I would greatly appreciate the help, thanks for reading. :D




Note: I have also tried various firmwares, tried stock and DD-WRT on two separate routers.

That same thing happened to me. I had to connect the router with the modem. From then on I was searching the web and I have seen that if the router isn't connected with the modem that later errors and ping spikes may occur. So yeah this the only solution I came up when i had problems like this.

Thanks for your response,

I am not entirely sure what you mean by connecting the router with the modem. Do you mean just a direct Ethernet connection? because that is what I am currently doing.
