So a few days ago, maybe 4 or 5 days I noticed that in my games, it was lagging every 2-5 seconds. My router is connected to a wifi box and I plug in my ethernet from the wifi box. Here are my pings from meter.net. https://snag.gy/yDaWER.jpg and https://snag.gy/qv4XYB.jpg . Please help thank you!

Thank you for the information friend and I'm happy to assist you with this issue.

Did you try resetting the router?

Okay good, well if they are doing something intensive, then it might use up alot of bandwidth which makes the network slow.

So you can try updating your network drivers.

I'm pretty sure its netgear. I'm going to see if i can update my network drivers. Btw I'm not sure if the laptop is lagging too, but the tv isnt lagging at all.
