Lately my ping has been going up to 1000 ms and then back to 30 ms for 5 seconds every minute or so and it became really annoying. I decided to check with PingPlotter and these are the results:
I used this program on other computers in the network and the results were similar. I decided to plug a laptop right into the modem and test it again and it turns out plugging in to the modem worked perfectly: no ping spikes.
I thought something must be wrong with my router so I bought a new ASUS RT-N18U and it didn't help.
Next I thought my UTP cables are damaged or something so I bought new cables (Cat 5e) too and that didn't work as well.
I'm running out of ideas and I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me.
