Hi guys,

Recently been noticing some problems during online gaming. I am using an ethernet cable connected to a mains powerline adapter which connects to the router.

I occasionally encounter random lag spikes which happens every so often. For example, during Rocket league, the red network icon appears and a few seconds later, i am at the other side of the pitch, as if i just reconnected to the server or something. The same thing has happened in overwatch.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be and the steps i could take to troubleshoot.
I have absolutely no problem streaming videos or downloading large files and my ping is always fine (<30).
