Lagging, Network Issue or BF6 Issue??

Hello, 

I get this about once a day. It is usually accompanied by packet-loss on the top left of the screen with a %25 or another value. If i am in chat, whether its Discord or in-game, my buddy's will say that i sound robotic. It is also, accompanied by lagging, rubber-banding. I have no idea what's causing this.. i reset my modem/router weekly.  It makes me think its not a BF6 issue,  because of the audio distortion in Discord. I also, do not currently play any other games, so i do not have anything to compare it to. Anyone have an idea of what's going on? This issue isn't exactly game-breaking, because for the most part i do not get "server disconnected", but i do notice it happens several times during a 2-3 hour gaming session. 

Any help would be great.. thanks

    First thing I would point you to is to close unnecessary  background  Programs. This appears to be a case of CPU overload. If virus scanners, updates, or audio streams etc. place a heavy load on the CPU, the audio stream is briefly interrupted. This results in crackling, dropouts, delays (latency), or digital noise. How much RAM does the system have? If the audio file isn't loaded into RAM quickly enough, the sound stutters. If too many programs send data packets simultaneously, a bottleneck occurs at the network adapter. For you, this manifests as high ping, connection drops, or stuttering in online games and video conferences. An additional option would be to reduce the sample rate in the sound settings.
