Windows 10: Internet lag spikes and updating wifi driver from realtek

So a while ago, I was trying to fix my internet connection because I was not able to run certain programs smoothly which is extremely infuriating for a college student learning via zoom. One of the solutions that I found was to install the latest version of the wifi driver from the manufacturer's website and it worked.... for a couple of days. After two or three days, the same issue would come back and I would have to roll back and update the driver over and over again. I have tried various methods including connecting through a cable to my router and updating windows. Are there any other PERM

Random lag spikes

Hi,

We would like to know more about your lag issue:

• What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
• Does the lag occur in a particular game?

In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Frequent lag spikes on wifi connectivity

I think you should take a step back and re-think your question.

'Lag' means slower, and 'spike' means faster. So the term "lag spike" makes no sense.

Ping is a test to see whether your computer is able to reach another device on a network; people usually use the ping command to see if their computer is able to reach a location on the internet. Ping makes four attempts to reach the chosen location. The
times displayed with the results of the ping command measure how long a standard set of packets took to make the round-trip from your computer to the location on the internet and then back to your computer. Thus, it's a measurement of your internet connection
- it doesn't say anything about your computer.

If you're having a problem with your computer, just explain it in your own words. Don't worry about getting the terminology right - the folks here can take care of that part.
