Lag problems

Mmoore2434 · Jun 29, 2015

Hi! I'm fairly new but i couldn't find anywhere about this (maybe i wasn't looking hard enough) but i been having a problem where my internet will stutter, approximately every 20 seconds - 5 minutes (no pattern to it) i will get a 5k ping lag spike that will last anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, then everything will go back to normal. This has been going on for about 2 weeks and started after a thunderstorm (just a normal thunderstorm) went overhead. I was just wondering if anyone knew by chance the problem, i also have no graphs or info or anything because i don't know how or what i'm suppose to put (as i'm fairly noobish as this stuff), so if you need anything just ask and get the report

Have you tried powering off, then back on, your router since the storm?

Yes, someone i was talking to said to try a hard reset of the router, so i unplugged it for about 6 min or so before plugging it back in yesterday

Does this happen on every pc on your network or just that one?

For a while i thought it was only my computer, but last night i was looking up things and noticed that my ipad would have lag spikes where it couldn't load a webpage, then it would load one instantly, or load it half way then stop or whatever

I would swap out routers and see if that is the cause...

More likely, it's the rain that uncovered bad cable insulation.
