Recently I've been getting pretty bad lag spikes on my network. I say recently but it's been happening for what feels like a while.
Whenever I play online games, mainly competitive shooter games like CS:GO or Overwatch, my ping spikes really high if someone else on the network loads YouTube videos or listens to music etc. I'm pretty sure this used to not be an issue. My ping used to go up a little bit but now it spikes really high up to nearly 1000. It will go back down once the video has loaded but getting 1000 ping from someone else watching a YouTube video seems a bit too much? Is there a way to stabilize the connection a bit to make it so it doesn't jump so high?
I'm on Asus firmware 380_7378. I do use adaptive QoS with it set to Gaming. Most devices use the 2.4GHz connection but the main devices like my and my roommates PC are on the 5GHz connection.
