while playing online games i suddenly get high ping and net jitter for a couple of seconds?
i started to notice this on deadlock and cs2 . the thing is my ping is usually fine but suddenly it jumps to 150 ping and my net jitter also becomes like 156ms and then goes back to normal. I tried turning off the setting in the power management setting but its still the same. Im wondering if the asus antenna has something to do with it. ı tried experimenting a bit and it seemed like it was getting better theeen, it happened again. Im using 5ghz band and im the only one using it. Im not tech savvy soooo any help would be appreciated

specs?

first thing is to find where the lag is coming from

winkey+r -> cmd

tracert google.com to find router ip and isp ip

first hop that responds is your router, most are 192.168.x.1

open new cmd prompt
ping -t [router ip]

open another command prompt
ping -t [2nd hop that responds is at your isp]

wait til you see higher ping or loss
hit ctrl+c to stop and show min/max/avg/loss

if router ping is <1ms on lan or <5ms using wifi, then your lan/wifi is fine

if the 2nd or later are causing the lag, its your isp, and nothing you can do about it, contact isp support and have a tech come out and test the lines

if its getting lag spikes or loss to your router, then start with drivers
get the correct mobo/chipset/lan/wifi/audio drivers from the mboo mfg site for the board

log into the router, check its wifi channel, and grab android wifi analyzer app, change the routers wifi channel to one that is not occupied

soo the 2nd hop said request timed out? Also what did u mean by specs? pc specs or wifi? sorry im not really tech savvy....

first hop said : 3ms 3 ms 3ms

Edit: ok it gave like 9 hops and most are around 30-45 ms

2nd may not respond if thats the isps modem
next one that responds is on the isp side
usually 3nd-4th hop

are you using wired network, 3ms is too high for that

use ping -t [ip]
and give it a few minutes, then ctrl+c to show min/max/avg and loss

Assuming Windows PC...

After each check if the problem is resolved. Especially check after Step 0, you should never have power saving on a wireless adaptor because the power saving features can be buggy and do exactly what you are describing when there's low traffic.

0. Check if the wireless adaptor has power saving on and disable it first, then check performance No need to type it when there is a guide:

1. Also if you have any tools checking it or even the game itself has a ping monitor you should know that that data comes at the price of performance and needs to call an interrupt. An interrupt stops everything on the PC and device calling it until it is complete, it's manifestation when there are too many is a pause.

A single interrupt isn't an issue, but some implementations on certain hardware can be buggy and introduce lag. Any operation to get real time data from a hardware device needs an interrupt, that includes getting data on network speed and connection quality

Though it sounds dumb since you won't be able to monitor it, disabling the ping counter CAN in some cases stop network lag. And no, I am not talking about a placebo, it means the game's ping counter was poorly designed and implemented.

2. If you are using wireless it could be due to your router. If you are using a router and the signal drops and you set it to auto, it can be swapping channels frequently.

Again, based on implementation then a signal going up and down between 50 and 100% (or whatever number is the set threshold) can be worse than one sitting at 50. If you have your router set to AUTO then consider changing it or checking if it is swapping channels often.

You can also check if your card is connected to both channels on your router (or even all of them depending on your adapter), then swapping bands back and forth when the signal gets weaker on the upper bands.

3. Look for bloatware that can be interfering with your device that may be preinstalled. Garbage like Omen Gaming Hub, MSI Center, etc. can have "network optimisation" settings that do harm and no good.

Im using wifi sorry i didnt say it earlier. i did the ping on router ip heres the result:

Minimum: 2ms, Maximum: 11ms, Average: 3ms. It also says 0 loss

You should try and get a cable instead of wifi. That would almost certainly solve all your problems.
Ok, did the second test but with isp ip, here are the results:

Minimum: 2ms, Maximum: 565ms average: 15 ms, again with zero loss

You need to test wired to be sure. mobile phones, microwave and tons of other things can cause lag spikes on WiFi. That's why many online tournaments don't allow to compete on WiFi.
I see, well when i have the chance ill probably try it. But if theres any other solution feel free to write it here guys :(
I wonder if my new gaming pc has something to do with it, It came with vertical asus antenna, maybe thats also the culprit? i get net jitters when i slowly move it too. I movied it away from electronics

lots of things can cause interference with wifi
as C1REX stated, microwave, cfl/flouresecent lights, cell phone, bt and 2.4ghz wireless devices(with 2.4ghz wifi), and other wifi networks 2.4 more likely than 5ghz

but if you only get the spikes to the isp, not the router, then contact the isp for help with the connection

Almost every wifi has random lag spikes. It's the nature of the tech. There is no real solution other than moving to space with no air, no humidity and no interference from other devices (neighbours WiFi, microwave, mobile phones - yours and passing people outdoor).
Here is my very decent WiFi 6e on Asus ROG mobo sitting next to WiFi router. Less than 0.5m and still have few times worse performance than the cheapest cat5e cable.

I see, well ethernet it is then!. alright guys thanks
wow
wifi for CS2 is like jumping on a bus and hoping it will take you from Europe to North America in 1 hour
