Recently I've been getting some strange lag spikes while in TF2 when people on my wireless network are doing things as simple as loading Facebook or webpages. I have a fairly fast connection for what I can get out here so is there anything I can do to tweak my router or connections (outside of QoS which I already have configured to give me high priority)? I'm on ethernet btw, but I'm hooked up to a wireless router.

What kind of router do you have? I know the reason i was getting lag spikes is because the channel my router was using wasnt distributing the full capacity of bandwidth it could. I called the router company and they fixed it by switching to a higher Ghz channel

I had issues with roommates for a while because the router settings didn't enable enough devices, so when people with iphones and laptops and xboxes all connected to the internet, people would start getting disconnects / lagging really bad (PS I also had the same router as you).

I have the same router.
I've done nothing and it seems to work just fine.
Maybe your provider is working on something.

This is the EXACT problem I have. Did you get it fixed, and if so, how?

Possible fixes other than qos? Dmz host your ip ( warning this means demilitarized zone ) aka you will be open BUT in other cases it helps connectivity. MTU transmission tweaking if at 1500 use a lower max transmission unit rate (1470 ect...). Change your channel wireless is on regardless because the default 2.4 ghz can be interrupted and affected by anything from a cordless phone to other miscellaneous signals(use 5 7 11 ect...). Router could be getting stuck on max connections or unwanted people on the network. Do you have your wireless network with a password so you aren't getting jacked?
The only other things besides this would be use a custom firmware update like DD-wrt or update your routers firmware if there is anything new available. This could fix things like the router overheating, bad p2p, and other miscellaneous stuff that wasn't optimized.
