Major traffic bursts affecting just a single device
Major traffic bursts affecting just a single device
During LAN gatherings I observed my machine facing intense ping spikes while others had smooth connections. I removed Avast security software and played for three hours without any issues. I’m unsure how long this issue has lasted. Mostly I play solo games, but recently tried PUBG and felt long lag bursts sometimes. Recently with the new expansion, these spikes occur roughly once an hour. It’s odd since my friends use laptops on WiFi while I connect via Ethernet—my PC is clearly better. No one blames me for an older CPU or old graphics card (currently 7700k and 850evo). How do I figure out the reason behind these ping problems? My connection is a 1GB fiber from Rocketfiber.
Thanks for your prompt response. Your AIO setup has three fans in the front of the case—two pushing into the radiator and one pulling. There are no additional fans on top or back. Your CPU and GPU temperatures look excellent. You’re not using a more powerful setup; you’re connecting directly to the modem.
It looks like you're confirming you have a router and multiple devices connected to it, likely using Wi-Fi.
I might be misunderstood. The device I refer to as my "modem" is a Zyxel emg3425-q10a. My computer links to it through Ethernet, and WiFi gadgets can also connect to this unit.
Your friend thinks the cable might be picking up interference. With a complex home theater setup, there are many more wires than in a typical desktop. I’m here to help—would you like to check logs or diagnose the ping spikes? Also, your main drive has less than 10% free space; that could definitely affect performance.
