  • I had a decent connection over wifi - occasional stutter but totally manageable.
  • Fiber internet with a high capacity wifi6 router
  • Suddenly, I get ping spikes for 10 seconds.
  • no other network activity at time that I'm playing.
  • router is one room over.
  • Only recent update is maybe a Fedora system update, or a Deadlock update.
  • Please help. I don't want to go beneath house to run cat6. It's dark and there are spiders.

Yes, actually! Not so much gaming, but it seems like I'll be surfing or whatever, and then... Dialup speed for a few seconds... Then normal again. My router is about 15' away, just upstairs. Hmmm... I dual boot the laptop, I'll see if it's just Fedora.

I tried editing powersave.conf config file to turn that off. That - as of a few years ago - seemed to be causing ping spikes. No dice so far.
