Some wires slow things down but no wireless connection does.
Some wires slow things down but no wireless connection does.
All plugged-in gadgets face this problem too. And sure, I've tested different cables on various outlets.
It sounds like something might be wrong with that router. Could you tell me what brand and model it is?
I will add the suggestion to run "ipconfig /all" on a wired computer with lag spikes, then do the same on a wireless computer that isn't having lag spikes. Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) through the Command Prompt and post the results here so I can tell you which one is wired and which is wireless. You should be able to copy and paste these results without typing them all over again. The "ipconfig /all" comparison results could help show what's going on.
I did this on my laptop where the first was connected through wifi then I disabled my wifi and plugged in my LAN adapter and ran it again.

I just got the fix done. The issue was my network switch, and that's why putting my cable straight in the router didn't work properly. I ordered a replacement today so it will be here by tonight.
