Ping spikes due to people being on the internet - Please Help.

So I have been having this problem for a while now that whenever people are on the internet I get ping spikes that most of the time go up to 100-200ms and then it will later on go down to 20-40ms. usually the ping spike will last for 1-2 seconds and then it will be normal for 0-5 seconds.

 

All my drivers in my PC are up to date.

And I am connected to the internet wireless and not Ethernet

 

The modem model is Ubee DDW36C

And I tried to find a QoS menu to try and find a way if it would fix my issue but I didn't see anything about QoS, I also looked on the online guide for my modem and it didn't help.

I have also restarted my modem/router multiple times and I still get the ping spikes

Edit: Also my internet is 100mbps download speed and 10mbps upload speed

Best solution is ethernet. Other than that you could maybe try a powerline adapter. 

I'm sure that ethernet might be a possible solution its just that there are other people that also need the internet in my house.

If your connected via ethernet and everyone else is using the wifi, unless they some how manage to saturate your connection, should solve your issue.

Unless they cram that 100mbps full of junk like my little pony or game of thrones it will work better

Wireless is finicky depending on who's on the network. For instance, if you have a device that can only negotiate say 30Mbps on the Wi-Fi link, any time it talks to the network, everyone slows down to 30Mbps, regardless of what they were before.

Thats not the way time slots work. Each device is given a time slot in which the router is listening in, if the device doesnt talk it doesnt wait because it doesnt care so it moves on to the next device. If it waited devices that barley had a connection would destroy everyone connection, but thats why its not designed that way.

 

The reason the pings spike is because packets are too big to be sent at once in the time slot so its sent over multiple slots. When others are using the wifi first the hardware has to decode the signal which introduces some delay (minimal) but also since wifi interferes with everything, not every packet makes it through. This re transmission uses up time slots that can be used for other devices hence causing a delay because its taking longer for your packets to make it through.

Yeah. Most routers have 4 Ethernet ports and some form of Antennas. I have my gaming rig connected via Ethernet while all other devices in my home is connected via WiFi. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Every router I have ever own since the WRT54g has allowed me to have wired and wireless. Buy a new router, yours is obviously shit.
