Hi all,
I'm currently in college atm and my dorm room has constant ping spikes with the school's wireless network. Going wired is not an option as ethernet is not available in the dorms. I've ran several ping tests and the spikes seem to be sequential (every 30 seconds or so). The up and down speeds are pretty good and my wireless access point is right outside of my room. I've also tried disabling network auto search in windows but that did nothing. The WiFi also seems to cut out randomly at times and I can only fix by removing and putting back in my USB NIC. Could it be that my USB NIC is just bad? (it was cheap, like $30 on amazon: TechKey ac1200). Please help!
Edt: I also get the ping spikes on my phone and laptop, idk what to do. It makes gaming unbearable.
