I need help with my ping, mostly my internet spikes.
It is a constant 40-50 ms which is perfect, even better than what I expect, but every-time in im in game or in any game to be honest - I spike every 3 seconds and its a huge pain in the ass.
Im not able to play games properly as every action is delayed due to the ping spikes, and I need help.
I've tried everything, and I'd love if somebody could guide me to somehow fix it, I've tried everything, please I beg of you.

First thing to try with these things is to restart your router. Leave it unplugged for a good minute or so to make sure it is totally shutdown

#

Routers are very easy to upset, particularly if you have changed the username of the machine recently (for instance when installing)

#

Wifi or ethernet?
