Does this mean my router is bad?

-Lately I've been experiencing problems with my wireless internet connection. I've found it almost unbearable to do anything such as stream netflix, watch videos, play games, even browse the internet. I pinged myself in command prompt and I saw huge spikes of lag going up to 1500 ms every few times. These random lag spikes have never happened in the past and have been going on for about a month. Does that mean my router is bad, or what? Thanks guys. Oh; my isp is Road Runner and my speedtest results are 3mbits down and .40 mbits upSounds more like a latency issue. Try doing a tracert to a website on the internet. It will tell you where the lag is happening on your network. Look for any asteriks or time out these indicate slow connections at particular routers. Also reboot your entire network, if you havent tried that alerady. Unscrew the coaxle cable from the roadrunner modem and leave it out for a minute before you screw it back in. Since you have wireless also make sure that your connection is secure and that no one is piggybacking on your bandwidth.



Hope this helps
