[PC] Internet is fine. Then suddenly, I am having 999 ping in game

This is my first ever post here, so Ill cut to the chase,

Within the first few weeks of purchasing and playing the game, everything, including my wireless internet connection, was working just fine. I was playing the game with no problems. Then just about a week or so ago. I have been dealing with game after game where within 5 mins of entering a match, I get 999 as my ping. I lag terribly and it ruins the fun. My PC can handle games of this size, so there should be no problems there.

I have checked my router itself (and reset it twice), my antivirus, my windows 10 automatic updates, my games graphical settings, my server selection. I have used speedtest.com, even the setting to check your ping in-game from the settings. I have checked almost everything possible (that I know of) to see how I can fix this problem. All other online games work perfectly. I even used google and youtube for answers but I found nothing. Someone told me that this is actually an ancient common bug from the code from the game. Have others had this problem? If so, how do you solve it? Is there something EA/Dice can do? 

Any help will be appreciated, because I really enjoy this game and want to keep playing.

Thanks.

EDIT (12/14.2016): I added my DxDiag.txt to see if the problem is anything relating to my computer itself. But I still have huge random ping spikes for no reason. If I wanna install a wired connection, do I just make a connection via ethernet cable and plug from my pc to the router directly? Due to the way my router is set up, its in the adjacent room from mine. Are there other possible options for a wired connection if the router is in the adjacent room?

    Have you tried disabling your Anti-Virus while playing?  Have you added Battlefield 1 to your Firewall?

    Also, have you tried connecting via an Ethernet cable to rule out that it is the WiFi causing the issue?

    Another thing it could be is part of the physical connections to your home, or within your home.  I know for sure that can cause issues from personal experience.  One day (only about 5-6 months ago) I started lagging and having huge ping spikes out of the blue.  Everything I tried myself to resolve the issue failed.  So I contacted my ISP and had them come out.  He plugged into my wall connection with a signal tracer, and was receiving tons of errors.  Next he when and hooked up to the connection on the outside of my building, and received no errors, so that meant the issue was somewhere from the terminal box to the wall connection.  He opened up the plate and saw the splitter the contractors used, as well as the connecters on the end of the wires were all cheap hardware store ones.  He cut all of them, used high quality parts, used a high quality splitter.  Hooked up his tester once more, and BINGO, errors disappeared.
