Hi!
I bought this computer and from the start i have been experiencing big ping spikes. If i ping google it will look something like this:
Reply from 216.58.207.206: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=53

The ping will be steady then increase by a lot and then go down quick again. Sometimes it disapears for like 30 minutes. Right now i get a ping spike. It sends 32 pakages without any problems then i get a ping spike again.
I have tried everything i could find on google. I get no result in windows trouble shooting, i have updated all drivers, i have tried on different wifis on different places, i have tried with an external internet card and i have tried disabeling Wlanautoconfig that i found on google but the problem is still the same. I tried it with an ethernet cable and then there was no issue. There is no problem with the Wifi in our house and the signal is good. I even tried on another WiFi in a different place and still the same problem.
