Huge ping spikes

ReThorb_ · August 9, 2018

Hi,

I've had this issue for a while now and I've tried finding a solution multiple times before, but without success.

I'm on WIFI and the router is one floor below, in a house with weaponized concrete walls.

When I'm playing any game, such as CSGO, my ping will be about 25 - 40 consistently.

But every now and then (could be only a couple of times during a 40 minute match, could be basically the whole match) my ping will shoot up to somewhere around 1500 and maintain a high ping for a few seconds or longer. Occasionally, the game will even freeze and disconnect me from the server.

The ping can also just be generally unstable and go up and down a lot more often.

I've tried using a different WIFI adapter for my PC, but without improvement.

Could it just be the fact that I'm using WIFI? Or is it something else?

I've added an ingame clip of when the ping can suddenly skyrocket.

Feel free to ask questions and I hope someone can help :-)

It can be 2 things.

1. network congestion , ( can be fixt by getting a better router ) its this thats cossingyour problem

2. A point in the network chain drops out, ( sadly you cant do anything about it )

Or alse you can scream fuck you Ziggo and kpn. for giving us fibber internet
