Okay so i have and lag spikes for a week myself and with no help form Virgin went to try and fix via trial and error.
After a few hours i have a fix and have already had confirmed from various users on Twitter that this also works for them.
Please see the guide below and let us know if it worked for you by commenting on here.
Go onto your router settings. (The IP address by default is 192.168.0.1. If you want to use your own router and put the hub into modem mode then the internal address for the hub will change to 192.168.100.1)
Down the left hand side click on advanced settings.
Then wireless
Then wireless signal
Now change the settings in here to exactly as shown in the attached photograph.
Change it all to match what i have there mate then apply changes then PS4 should log out of network by itself and resign in by itself a few moments later.
Mine was all set up to auto on the router settings and different channels but once i changed to all them settings PS4 lag spikes literally disappeared straight away and managed to get a gaming session all last night for around 4 hours no lag spikes at all
That's IT
HOPEFULLY WORKS FOR YOU ALL AND LETS YOU ALL GET BACK ONLINE ASAP. LET US KNOW!

Hi,
I know this may sound stupid but when you say 'go onto router settings', how do you actually do this?

Hi mate sorry for a newbie question but does this fix apply to ps4 connected via wifi only or it can be applied to ethernet wired ps4?

I personally have only tried with a WiFi PS4 and not a wired one so unless someone has tried with a wired connection i wouldn't be able to advise I'm afraid

Wow....
I had vivid 50 for a year and had no lag issues whatsoever but the speed was lacking so I upgraded to vivid100, at one point my router restarts and I get the speed upgraded, all hyped I go back to playing only to find out that there are lag spikes and its literally impossible to play online. Thinking that maybe the new setup needs some time to adjust itself I didn’t think much about it. Couple of days later I tried again and packet losses and lag spikes were still there and I became extremely depressed and started researching this common problen only to get even more depressed since theres no solution.
UNTIL BY ACCIDENT I FOUND THIS TOPIC YOU GOOD SIR AND THE ISSUE IS GONE!!!!
I hope it will continue the same but I guess it will but huh...insane
Is it still working out for you?
