Intermittent large ping spikes - Critical Downstream power level errors on Hub

Tuning in

Hello All,

Looking for some help with a really annoying issue I'm having on my 1Gbps line with Virgin media, speed is fine but intermittently I am getting huge ping spikes that can sometimes reach over 4000ms (see below)

How I noticed this was being on Discord and the connection dropping out intermittently, it can happen once in 5 minutes or many times in quick succession.

I've ruled out the PC by connecting it to a different connection which does not have the ping spikes.

When logging on to the router, I am seeing quite a few errors on the log page:

You will see that I've rebooted the router a few times and reset but the same errors keep coming back up. These errors have been the same since 8AM this morning

Would appreciate any help on this as its infuriating me, would these errors be causing the spikes in ping?

 

Thanks in advance all

The ping variations shown are on the LAN side of the network.
What cables / switches etc are between the PC and VM Hub ?
Do you see the same variations if you ping the Hub from another device ?
