Hey
Ive had a lot of lags since i moved to a new house. I am lagging although my ping is fine (like 40-70). I use wifi but idk if that is the problem since i used it for a long time and never had bigger problems. I lag out every 30s for like 0.5s. How can i find out if my problem is really my wifi connection?
using mastercomfig btw

The best way to see if your WiFi is what's causing you instability is to just wire in via ethernet and see if you continue to have random spikes/stuttering every 30 seconds (though obviously depending on how far you are from your ISR or switch this might not be an option). You can also net_graph and check your packet loss, and check your Task Manager to see if there's a background process that's eating up network bandwidth. Would also recommend finding out which ISP you have, what kind of service they provide (satellite, broadband/cable, fiber) and what your average up/down speeds are if you don't have that info already. If you have a broadband provider, typically during times of high network traffic speeds in your area overall will decrease. This causes lower bandwidth, which means it takes less activity to congest your home network and therefore will slow everything on your home network down.

Also since this problem is new, it might be caused by wireless interference. If you've recently purchased more/new electronic appliances, try turning them off and seeing if your network performance returns to normal. If you live an an apartment complex, this might also be caused by other people's wireless interference, so you could try adjusting what WiFi channel your router uses.

Packet loss is spiking with my ping (apparently my ping does spike after all....)

(sometimes packet loss is going up to 30 while my ping is spiking up to 200)
