1-2 Second Lag Spike

I have a Buffalo something G router with DD-WRT firmware. I never gamed much using it, all the desktops were hardwired, but I moved one and picked up a PCI wirless card. Normally everything is great, but I get 1-2 second lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. The card is a Encore ENLWI-N. What could be causing these spikes? My signal strength is 100% from what I can see with no issues.... I am not very far from the router at all.

If it's only wireless that's pretty normal. Wireless is flaky. You may have something interfering like cordless phones, bluetooth, microwaves or other 2.4 Ghz. Or even other wireless devices.

To take the provider out of the question then ping your routers IP address.
 
I've tried all different channels and it is always the same.

Your lag spikes look to be ~1 minute apart from each other. Sounds like something is jamming the 2.4ghz band with noise every minute or so... find out what it is and unplug it 😛
 
No clue.... there is nothing here. No cordless phone.... I turned off and on my cell phone bluetooth no difference.
 
Stupid card.... there is a feature in the driver properties called "Multimedia/Gaming Environment" I enabled it and that seems to have corrected it.

Update: Yup deff fixed it.....

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 15ms, Average = 1ms
 
IIRC this is caused by the Wireless Zero Configuration. Every 60s or so it will scan for new wireless networks which causes the lag spikes you were experiencing. What that feature probably does is disables this service.
