[SOLVED] Incredibly unstable ping

[pepeneros]

Recently my internet connection has been very unstable, just last week it was fine on all fronts but now I've been getting random massive ping spikes resulting in voice calls cutting out, games of League just stopping for a second or 2 to catch up. Here are my tests:

Are you using wifi for the first test? What wifi card/adapter do you have? Your router is delivering mostly stable ping, however, through your wifi card it begins to become unstable.

This is what I got from my cheapo, USB, no-name, dual band wifi adapter sitting relatively around the corner from my router. Your ping should be better than that. First I would make sure you have good signal strength.

I'd recommend install Comodo firewall or similar.
You can see what programs use your internet connection from there and block them if you like.
If someone else is stealing your bandwidth from another device you can login as admin to your router see what devices are connected to it and kick out any device you don't like.

Yes I am using wifi in the initial test, but it's also happening on other devices according to my mom. I'm running a Realtek RTL8822BE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCIe Adapter on this machine.

Odd i agree with niko. I would try what he said.
