Hi,
I have been having problems with my home network for quite a while now. When playing online games every 5 minutes or so, I experience lag and "go back" as recorded here , my Discord lags as well ( I cant hear for a few seconds and my friends cant hear me). I am connected via 100 Mb/s ethernet cable. Other users of my home network dont experience any problems but theyre using Wifi connection. Heres an image from Ping Plotter showing some lag spikes . Is this problem caused by router or something else ? Thanks for answers.

Do you have stat tracker or other website open at the same time while you play. I had the same problem happen to me when the stat tracker would update every 4 minutes.

It is not necessarily a connection problem but could be that your device is being over utilized. Is it meant for gaming? Maybe try closing the extra apps runnin in the background

I already tried that, but didnt help. The PC is meant for gaming. The specs: Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2070 SUPER, 16GB RAM, MB MSI Tomahawk B450

I dont see any other program that could cause that problem. Can you recommend some programs that could discover any undesirable programs that could slow down the PC ?
