He recently put in a new router, but I've noticed frequent lag during games, especially in short bursts lasting 5 to 10 seconds. My ping stays around 20-30, but it spikes up to about 200 for a couple of seconds. I can still stream videos and handle downloads/uploads without issues. I'm using an Ethernet cable connection. I'm not very familiar with PCs or routers, so could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest simple fixes? Thanks!
