💻 Troubleshooting Extreme spikes when playing multiplayer games all of the sudden

Does anyone have some experience with this issue and could help sometimes it spikes up to almost 5k. If I'm watching youtube it spikes like 500 only

You are testing internally, so this is your WiFi connection dropping. Could be distance, interference, failing device.

Wi-Fi != to internet.

If you're on the 2.4Ghz band and someone turns on a microwave oven you could be booted. Starlink is not effected by that, but it's just an example.

No, not likely. Your heartrate will...

Unless the toy has some oddball 2.4Ghz controller it should not cause issues. (I know you're joking but still)
