Crazy Ping Spikes in Online Games

Hello! For the past few weeks I have been experiencing crazy ping spikes. The strange thing is that it only happens on games. It has never happened before also. I ran games on two different computers on the same WiFi, and experienced the same problem. I play games like COD, Fortnite, Valorant, Rocket League, etc, and my friends haven't experienced any issues of the sort. I am also on the latest firmware for the XR500. Is this because of COVID-19, or is there a fix? Thanks!

What do you mean by physical setup?

What is your exact physical setup? Are you using QoS? It sounds like you may be experiencing local congestion. If you're using QoS, what settings are you using?
As for QoS I recently disabled it and haven't seen much of a change.

I'm Using an ethernet cable connected from a Netgear ProSafe 5 Port Gigabit Switch. Before, I didn't really change anything on the Qos except the Bandwidth Allocation, which I put the majority on my PC.

Re: Crazy Ping Spikes in Online Games
The XR500 is plugged into the Netgear Prosafe, and an ethernet cord to my desktop (and an outlet). I just updated my QoS, so hopefully that helps. Thanks.

Sorry! My Ping has actually gotten higher after I adjusted the settings to optimal. The ping spikes have stayed the same. I decided to keep the QoS disabled.

Okay my bad. The Prosafe is connected into a port in the wall. I can provide a picture if needed.

Re: Crazy Ping Spikes in Online Games
Alright I just connected the XR to the wall.. I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place. I'll try the ping plotter when I can. The only thing that confuses me is the ping spikes are only in games. I ran tests in cmd and I didn't get any ping spikes. I'm guessing it has something to do with my Geo-Filter? Thanks.

For both I was downloading a game. The one with QoS enabled was the optimal QoS settings.

Re: Crazy Ping Spikes in Online Games
Is it going to need to be higher or lower do you think? And yes I used 70/70.
