Question Constant ping spikes whenever playing any game after BIOS update

[oResmin]

Hi guys, as stated in the title, I'm getting extremely high spikes in games, for 5 seconds its all good with a stable 58 ping then it jumps to 700+ for a few seconds then goes back to normal, and it does it over and over again. I have tried updating drivers/resetting bios to default. I've tried resetting the internet, move closer to the wifi adapter, but nothing has really worked. I can't really clear CMOS cus I kinda pushed one of the screws in a bit hard, and I dont have one that has good grip so I'm kinda just stuck.
Could any of you guys give me any suggestions on what I could do to fix this?

Rant over, here are the specs:
OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language
Motherboard: LNVNB161216
GPU 0: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060
GPU 1: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz

Hope you can help me

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Make and model wifi adapter?

What screw? There should be a jumper for clearing CMOS.... More information needed.

Have you tried this on a ethernet cable. It is highly unlikely it is something related to the cmos/bios in your machine. The actual wifi firmware that runs on the wifi chip is loaded by the OS so the bios should not be involved other than basic pcie connectivity stuff.

This is a extremely common problem with wifi. Many things cause it and it can be very random. This is why they recommend to not play online games on wifi.

Maybe you are not running on 2.4g when you were running on 5g before...or the reverse. The wifi channels you were using might have changes but this is mostly controlled by the router but since you reset it that too it could have changed.

Your best option long term is to try to not use wifi. Ethernet is best, moca is good if you have coax cable and then you can consider powerline networks. Powerline networks might be a bit slower than wifi but it will have very consistent latency.

I can't open the laptop cover, cus I pushed too hard when trying to unscrew it
I can't really find anywhere on the internet how to find PSU

Before I even reset wifi or updated BIOS, it was working completely fine, so I think it isn't the case.
