Huge Lag Spikes When Plugged Directly Into Wall Sockets

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

Huge Lag Spikes When Plugged Directly Into Wall Sockets

Post by ptaylor54 » 30 Nov 2022, 12:18

Hello I've been having weird electrical issues with my house the last couple of years: lights flickering, fans speeding up and down, variable input lag on mouse and monitor. And recently I've began noticing an odd thing that when I plug electrical devices into a power brick and not the wall socket directly the odd phenomena are minimized(they never fully disappear). The oddest to me however is whenever I plug either the router or my pc directly into a wall socket the internet becomes wildly unstable and experiences either constant drops in the wifi or intermittent huge lag spikes on ethernet. What could be causing this? And why when I use power bricks do the issues improve slightly?
