While playing games, my latency fluctuated noticeably. I checked the ping chart in the Call of Duty settings, and it displayed a wave-like pattern. This behavior had never occurred before, and no changes to hardware or software had taken place. I’m connected via a powerline Ethernet adapter, which previously worked flawlessly. Additionally, no new devices were added to my home network. Attached is a multiple destination IP ping test showing the recurring spikes. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m using the Killer E2400 Ethernet and Killer AX1650x Wi-Fi card with Killer drivers, but the Control Center isn’t installed. I understand it might not be worth it. EDIT: I’m using Ethernet, not Wi-Fi. Overlapping Wi-Fi channels aren’t an issue since I don’t live in a crowded area.

And also you're completely sure nothing has changed voltage wise on the powernet?! Them powerline adapters are great but they do have to filter out all the noise that comes with AC power. And that you dont change doesnt mean the neigbour getting a new device wont matter to you, cus it does. Try with a direct ethernet cable to the router and test. Just to make sure its not your powerline part. And for the love of god why get a Killer ethernet conenction but use powerline? You might even be better of using the killer wifi thing...

My router is placed inside the house and only works with N WiFi, not AC or AX. Sadly, the walls block it. The wired Ethernet was functioning well until now. EDIT: it doesn’t have any external antennas and is a modem-router combo. I don’t want to buy another modem or gaming router right now, but maybe later.
