I recently upgraded my main machine at home. That means my old system got relegated to server status. It is a 4770k with an ASUS board with dual NICs.
I set up the home distribution as I want to incorporate plex into the build. The issue that I'm having is that I keep getting lag spikes on the network when going through the gateway. It happens on wifi and on wired LAN. The wifi is through two Unifi APs that I have setup.
The lag spikes seem random. When watching Amazon Prime or youtube it is annoying, but while gaming it is VERY frustrating. When I say lag spikes I mean no connection for 15-20 seconds. Some games just drop me, other just lag and then come back. The streaming video is the same. Sometimes I even have to close down roku/youtube in order to get the connection back.
I have 250 megabits down and 10 megabits up from my ISP. I've tried with my cable modem with bridge mode both on and off.
Both of my nics on my motherboard are gigabit. One is an Intel and the other is a realtek I think.
This is definitely a game breaker if I can't get this to work properly.

So I'm not sure, but I think that was two commands...anyways, here are the outputs from them.
# ifconfig |grep '^\S' -A 1
eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I think this is solved but I'll report back in a few days. BIOS was up to date. I swapped the connections so my WAN connection is on the INTEL NIC and my LAN is on the other.
I am seeing some other strange behavior I think.
From my computer on the LAN I can ping and log into my cable modem just by typing in its IP address even though my computer is showing it to be on the LAN subnet and not the cable modem subnet.
I do not have my cable modem in bridge mode.
my computer is 10.10.10.x
clear gateway
LAN: 10.10.10.1
WAN: 10.0.0.x
cable modem is 10.0.0.1
if I type 10.0.0.1 in my address bar it goes to the cable modem config. I can also ping that IP address with windows command line.
Not sure exactly what is happening here, but it seems fishy. -

I installed the new driver and did a reboot. not 100% sure but I think I'm still having the disconnect issues. Here is the output from the lspci command. The r8169 has been rolled back according to this.
lspci -k | grep Eth -A 3

Going to check a few more things, but I did just get disconnected from a game. It could have been a random DC because they do happen, but I haven't had one here in a long time and I'm on wired LAN, not WiFi -
