This used to happen to me as well years ago. Are you using Ethernet? And if not, is your router pretty far away? I’d recommend using Ethernet if possible and if not, at least have your router somewhat close to your pc (or get a wifi range extender)

so its 4ghz and thats the reason behing ping spikes so better play on ethernet or upgrade to new pc or gaming laptop or u can buy a portable 5gz wifi adapter but i think there are ping spikes there too bec i have used it so better play using ethernet
