Ping spikes/Wi-fi disconnects every 1-2 minutes

[smj.mcshane]

As the title says I am experiencing drastic slowing of my internet speeds every 1-2 minutes with the Wi-fi even sometimes completely disconnecting from my computer. No other device on the Wi-fi network experiences this issue. Furthermore, I recently changed my ISP and, with that, received a completely new wireless router. I have created 3 batch programs in order to try and gather data on the issue (details and outputs below, and apologies for my terrible coding skills); for reference the ping from other devices on the network average out at about 26.0ms. I do not know why this issue continues to occur but do know that it is a problem with my PC and not my ISP or wireless router. I welcome any help and give my preemptive thanks to anyone who provides it.

Batch programs:
ping.bat the purpose of this program was to run the two pings simultaneously
@echo off
cls
cd C:\ping1
start ping1.bat
cd C:\ping2
start ping2.bat
exit

ping1.bat the purpose of this program was to test the ping to the router itself
cd c:\ping1
cls
call :sub >output1.txt
exit /b

:sub
ping 192.168.0.1 /t
exit

ping2.bat the purpose of this program was to test the ping to the internet
cd c:\ping2
cls
call :sub >output2.txt
exit /b

:sub
ping www.google.co.uk /t
exit

output1.txt output from ping to router

C:\ping1>ping 192.168.0.1 /t

Boot up your computer.

Once stable, open the Resource Monitor and observe what your system is doing for a few minutes.

Slide the window to one side and work as normal while watching Resource Monitor. Look for some activity that grabs all or most of some resource.

Task Manager may also help narrow down the source of the problems.

When my network connection slows down 3 processes seem to hog a lot of the network activity:

- svchost.exe (LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation) this one usually uses the most
- svchost.exe (LocalServicePeerNet)
- svchost.exe (NetworkService)

However, since svchost.exe is a vital process to running my PC at all, as I found out when I ended the process in task manager, I don't know what to do about this.

Okay.

Did not ring any of the proverbial bells for me so I googled.

Found some links. Here is a good starter but somewhat old:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/ce322ea8-9f7d-432a-b1f1-52089b4aa667/localserviceandnoimpersonation-network-usage?forum=w7itpronetworking


The following link seems to have provided a solution:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/svchostexe-localserviceandnoimpersonation-using-99/00c1a87a-832c-4006-9eab-8ae56047f95b

My approach would be to google for similar links using "LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation" to see what else might be found.

E.g., something more specific to your setup that truly seems relevant. I noted a couple of links mentioning Media Player....

Key is not to immediately react to every possible solution. Look and see if some consensus starts to appear.

And do be careful. Even though I am set for "English only" quite a number of foreign language websites appeared.

Avoid any sites that offer a fix via some download - some of those sites appear no matter what problem you are researching.

And do remember to run anti-virus and malware scans - just in case.
