High Ping Question

Hey for some reason i keep getting insane ping spikes when playing valorant, My internet is fiber 1gb speeds and it only lags on valorant, any ideas on why and how to fix it? My ping is usually like 10 but will jump up to the hundereds or thousands making it unplayable at times.

when it's in the thousands, that's usually packet loss, at least from my experience if you're playing on wifi, you're a lot more likely to get packet loss if your laptop has an ethernet port, try using that

if you're having more packet loss on your laptop then your desktop, there could be a lot of reasons why you could be farther from your router than your desktop or your laptop has a worse wifi adapter

could also be the motherboard or cpu do you happen to know the specs for both your desktop and laptop?
