My PC is connected via Ethernet cable to a WiFi Repeater that is connected wireless to my router (can't connect directly because it's too far away).
I play R6 Siege and for the first matches the internet works fine (with 98 ms) but suddenly it makes spikes up to more than 1000 ms and causes a horrible rubberbanding.
What can I do to fix my problem?

How far away is your router? The easy way to see if your wireless is the issue is to buy a 100' network cable (or 200-300, whatever you need), plug your computer directly in to your router and see if the issue goes away.
If the issue completely goes away then your wireless is at fault. You can either keep the cable or return it (so no money lost).

Another thing you can try is get a slightly longer ethernet cable (may need a power extension too) and move your repeater closer to your router. Just moving 2-3 feet around a solid concrete load-bearing wall can make a big difference.
