Hey, im new here, i have a little question. Not a long time ago i started experiencing mini-freezes in online games (csgo, wot, etc)
I checked it with pingplotter(screenshot), and all the red lines are the moments when i had lags. It happens only on ONE pc, the other laptops work good.

I also pinged google using command prompt, and as you can see i have sometimes 400 ping... and sometimes it goes up to 2-3k.
Info:
Wifi network, signal - full. Connection speed - 50mbps
Adapters: TP-link+some other outside adapter(so i have 2 connections)
I suppose something is wrong with my pc, so could someone provide any details?

This looks to be on WiFi

Also, 2 connections = trouble for most.

I'm going with expected on WiFi, even more expected if you have more than one connection.

Time to get back to those that set you up.

Before i didnt have any problems with that... for about 3 months it was all good, but recently started with those problems...
I will disable 1 of the adapters and check if it helps

All it takes

Is a new neighbor to deploy 802.11n in 40MHz OFDM. See how there is only only open channel in that mode at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

As to why this one machine, well, it's an odd duck of a setup with 2 adapters and what else? Your post only gave the sparsest of detail and one lead. It's like writing "it's broken".

I know folk want their privacy but here it's going to have to be pretty revealing.

Fix for gamers? Get wired.

I am thinking about gettign a powerline adapter, but i have no money right now.
What others details do you need?
I can provide you.

You could scan the area with say a smart phone.

I use WiFi Analyzer for that. But as it's WiFi you know that it's going to get random interference. You can try setting your router to 802.11g 20MHz OFDM and make sure it's not in some mixed mode of WPA+WPA2, etc.

I can't tell you all the details needed since it's all of them. But I'll work with what I can get.

Lastly, anything over 20 foot to the router and again we are going to see a sporadic jump. And if folk torrent, well, you know.
