Go to network and sharing center in control panel, click on your network connection and then the Details button and find IPv4 Default Gateway (it's probably 192.168.1.1 but it can be different)
Open command prompt and type "ping (the IP you just found) -t" and watch it for 5-10 minutes
If you see spikes, it's your local network. If you're on wifi that's most likely the issue, and the easiest solution is a wired connection.There are ways to make your wifi connection more stable but nothing that will equal a wired connection. If possible check the same pingtest on a wired connection, if you get spikes on wired to the gateway it could be a router issue or something
If you don't see spikes from the first ping try "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" and watch it again in the same way. If you see spikes with that it's probably on your ISP's end.

A wired connection will be pretty inconvenient for me so I'd prefer trying other solutions. could it be because of what network adapter I use?

I have a similar problem. I use ethernet, and the only thing separating my computer from a router is a powerline passthough and also a USB Type-C to Ethernet adapter. I even turned on airplane mode when I did the ping thing, and I still got spikes upwards of 300 milliseconds. What should I try to fix it? This only started happening recently.
