Windows 10: Wifi/Ping issue

Somedays my wifi can be great but some days I get this very frustrating thing with my ping in applications like Discord,Chrome,Games etc., The initial problem is that my ping goes from 30/50 ping to almost 100 ping plus and its very hard to deal with. Whenever I try to play a game like this I can barely move ANYWHERE So help would greatly be appreciated

High Ping when i Turn on the wifi of my laptop

Can you please provide more information?

• What make/model of router do you have?
• Is it on the latest firmware?
• If you don't know how to do something with your router, please refer to the user's manual or provide us more information about it so we can assist you better.

• What make/model of laptops do you have?
• Is the laptop that causes the high latency of the wireless connection much older than the other devices?
• Have you scanned the device for malware to make sure it isn't causing any kind of attack inside or outside of your network? (I recommend MalwareBytes AntiMalware Free from Ninite.com)

• What are you pinging when you're monitoring this issue? Google? Your gateway/router?

High latency in a wireless envirnoment like this one I would assume it is either something overloading from a malicious attack, an old device using a narrower bandwidth causing the router to have to change its channel scopes and having issues doing so (firmware bug), or the router being overloaded trying to manage all the requests over wireless (cheaper home-grade routers can fall flat on their face if too many devices connect to their wireless network(s))...there are other things like channel interference that @remixedcat refers to that are absolutely worth looking into.

Acrylic WiFi is an excellent program. Run it for about 15 minutes, then use Snip to take a screenshot of it (Google: Now to use Microsoft Snip, if you've never used it). You can attach images to a new post or upload them to Techpowerup.org and past the IMG code in your post.

Hope this helps get you going in the right direction!

Issue with ping spikes

connect something wired to either router (test both if you can) and do a file transfer. see if the ping spikes get worse.

if you're wifi bridging/repeating, those tend to cause issues like this if the signal isnt perfect.
