Lag Spikes

Off-Topic Games, Gaming and Hardware

So I have frequent lag spikes (maybe one an hour or so, maybe a little bit less) that last for like 5 seconds at a time where the game becomes completely unresponsive. I am trying to determine if the issue is my computer, my internet or other. I ran the WinMTR test for 5 minutes below are my results (I don’t know how to read it to make a determination as to if the issue is internet related). Can someone please help me out. Thank you in advance. Note I had to get rid of the periods before the word net so that I could post here.

So before we start go edit your post to get rid of the ip address in the 2nd and 3rd row.

Lets start with the basics are you on WiFi or physically plugged in?
If you’re on wifi are you connected to an extender or a mesh network? Example I have a mesh network but if I am not connected to the main hub (don’t have physical backend) i get really bad lag spikes.

Removed my ip address. I am on a wife (mesh network). So it sounds like it my wifi connection that is the issue not my computer.

Check if you’re connected to the main hub, and depending on how far you are and which frequency you’re on (2.4 or 5Ghz) it could also play a role in the spikes. If you can hardwire connect to it to rule out.

Alternatively if you have the time and/or money you can run a wired backhaul so each mesh router acts almost like the main one.
