Hey, so I've been having this problem for the past month or so with my internet. There's no indicator or sign that it's happening and it seems to happen frequently. For instance, if I am in a game of league of legends, my ping will automatically spike up to 500, 1000 or straight out disconnect for 3 seconds (I use ping plotter to keep track as well as google.com -t). Restarting does not help or anything, this also doesn't happen specifically to League of Legends but also MHW, FFXIV and as well as general internet browsing.
I share the network with about 8 other people who do not have this problem at all (8 people have been on the network for a long time and I never had this problem). I seem to be the only one who has this problem. I've also tried using my mobile data to see if it was the network, the same problem persists. No one but myself is using the mobile data but I'm still getting the ping spikes.
- Provide us with the exact specifications of your PC (if applicable) including:
It's an old PC but here are my specs - View: https://imgur.com/a/NTGyPQR
- I don't think it has anything to do with my hardware since I never had this problem before and those parts have not changed.
- Make and model of USB or PCI Wifi adapter
(not sure if this is the correct info but it's just my drivers from device manager) - View: https://i.imgur.com/8KIt0xq.png
I am also running a wired connection through an ethernet cable connected to my MBO
- I've changed all the possible cables connecting from my PC to the Modem (though I don't believe the network or cables are causing the problem since the problem persists even when using mobile data through a USB connection)
Things I've tried -
Things I have not tried
- Reinstalling network adapters (not entirely sure how to do this and have no found any thorough guides since I see a lot of people being unable to reinstall once they uninstall since they have no connection)
Cheers

Things I've tried -
- DNS flush
- Ipconfig commands in CMD to clean it (not entirely sure but I just followed a guide posted by someone from the Microsoft team)
- Switching cables
- Updating all my network adapter drivers in device manager
Things I have not tried
- Reinstalling network adapters (not entirely sure how to do this and have no found any thorough guides since I see a lot of people being unable to reinstall once they uninstall since they have no connection)
