I get ethernet lag spikes on my PC every half hour or so. Its very annoying, especially since it crashes my hyper light drifter game and gets me killed in csgo. My internet would cut out for about 5 seconds and return to normal. I have an ASUS  AC3100  and Verizon FIOS. I used to have Comcast and had the same problem. I switched to Verizon and got a new modem, and the problem stayed. So it can't be my service provider. I just tested whether its my router by plugging in an ethernet laptop and a wireless laptop. When I got the lag spike on my computer, everything still worked on both laptops (I check by trying to make a skype call to my gf's phone). So it's definitely my computer. I have an Asrock Z87 killer mobo with the latest win10 64bit network driver. Any ideas of what might be causing it?

windows 10? buggy os? only reason i can think of. if you still had comcast i would've said that was the problem because comcast is dead rat carcass horrible.

maybe try picking up a cheap gigabit Ethernet card to put in your system a different chip-set maker as that might be a frustrating way of solving the issue as long as you don't mind the extra card in you system. There pretty cheap $20AUD and if it doesn't work keep it as a spare.

Not a bad idea. I switched out the ethernet cord and so far no lag spikes lol

oh wow didn't think of that. It would be infuriating to mess around with drivers and that for hours only to realize that it was just the Ethernet cable 

For sure. Good thing I work at Best Buy and get them for like 3 dollars lol
