Wireless time out and spike lag

Hi i am currently using TP-Link TD-W8960N. The connection was fine for the 1st few days of usage but after liek a week, the router started to act up. Frequently there will be spike lags and packets lost when doing ping in the DOS. I am not very experienced with routers and networking so i would like to ask if any one know what might be the possible causes and solutions to this problem?
