Windows 10: Why is my Ping spiking every 5 seconds?

My Wifi on my PC is spiking every 5 seconds and i dont know how to fix it. Ive had internet problems for about 3-4 months and it came to a point where i had bough a new wifi stick for my PC and reset my PC, but the problem was still occuring. It goes to 1000ms-2000ms high. The internet on my Phone works perfectly fine, only my PC has issues with the WLAN. Any help would be appreciatable. Thanks!***** moved from german to english Community *****

Windows 10 - Constant Ping Spikes Every 5 seconds





For months now my Windows 10 CyberPower PC (purchased in 2021) has experienced intermittent ping spikes that disrupts video calls, hangs webpages, and make online gaming impossible. I have replaced the modem, router, wifi adapter, and had the cable lines inspected by a tech. The issue persists.

The spikes seem to occur at random but I can also trigger them by going to a webpage that asks to use my location (via browser). Upon agreeing, the lag spikes begin and persist, sometimes even after closing the browser and restarting. Other times, just playing online games seems to trigger the spikes.

Below is a list of what I've already tried. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated bc this causing me no end of headaches.

Attempted Solutions

• Hardware: Replaced modem, router, wifi adapter, and had cable lines inspected by a tech.
  
• Software: in-place upgrade to Windows 10; various command prompt/network reset procedures
  

I have tried all of these steps:

Click Start
Type: cmd
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type each command then hit Enter:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
NETSH winsock reset catalog
NETSH int ipv4 reset reset.log
NETSH int ipv6 reset reset.log

Hit Enter
Exit the prompt then restart

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot
Scroll down
Click Network adapters
Click Run the Troubleshooter

When complete, restart to see if the problem is resolved.

If that does not work

Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Network Adapters
Select the Network card listed,
Select Update Driver
This should give you a choice of drivers - select the oldest one
Wait a few minutes while it installs the old driver

or

press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Network adapters
Right click your adapter
Click Uninstall

Exit Device Manager, restart. Windows 10 should detect the network adapter then reinstall it. Check if you can connect and browse.

also try:

Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Status

Scroll to the bottom then click Network reset.

Click Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks > select the wireless network
Click Forget

Restart

Click the Network icon in the Taskbar
Try connecting again.

Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet in "Client for Microsoft Networks"
Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager, expand Network Adapters, right-click the adapter > Properties > Power Management, and then clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
