OskooI_007 Thanks for deciphering that. PC is connected to cable ethernet via an Orbi mesh system. When I first set the network up, I didn't have any issues at all.
NameWasWayTooLon there's definitely a ping spike problem with the Orbi mesh system.
I'm curious about how the PC is connected to the Orbi mesh system. Is the PC connected to main Orbi router, or is it connected to one of the Orbi satellites?

OskooI_007 Connected to the one satellite on the system. I just gave the Orbi a full reboot and am still having issues.

NameWasWayTooLon having the PC connected to a satellite means the satellite is acting as the PC's wifi network card. I would try connecting the PC directly to the router like Trichomecookin recommended and see of that fixes the ping spikes.
The best way to deploy a wifi mesh network is to have each satellite connected to the router with ethernet cables. That way each satellite has a wired backhaul connection to the router which doubles the satellite's wireless speed.
Of course having a wired connection is inconvenient in most circumstances, but it does boost performance greatly.

OskooI_007 That makes sense. Going to order some MOCA adapters, a filter, and a splitter and get that set up. Moved the satellite to a more elevated position and that seems to have cleared up a decent amount. Ran another Ping Plotter test and am seeing 75% packet loss at a Comcast server(?) I believe. https://share.pingplotter.com/5yMDnfiZEKR
