Charged Abilities cause massive lagspike (Vi Q, Sion Q, etc) [Gameplay]

**Edit 2 - PROBLEM ORIGIN FOUND!! - So I just installed a new router, literally an hour ago, and realized that I played a Vi game earlier today with no issues. Just connected directly to the modem, bypassing the router, and the problem completely disappeared. Looks like my other friend experiencing the problem also has the same brand router:

Cisco Linksys WRT 120N

Riot is there anything I can do to resolve this besides buying a new router?

I'm borrowing KingTophah's video here because it exactly shows the problem I am experiencing, but ever since the recent patch Vi's Q and Sion's Q when held down to charge cause my latency to spike to 500-700, making me completely unable to control the ability. I assume other champion's abilities that charge do the same, but those are the two I have tested.

Reproduction rate is 100%.

Two of my friends have experienced it, and I asked a few more to test it and they have no issues. It seems to be an intermittent problem, I do not know what is different between those who are and who are not having the issue though.

I just lost a ranked game due to this bug, and am fairly frustrated. Help please!

**Edit - Zac's E also causes this

I've experienced this as well and it is extremely frustrating.

I have been having the same problem, except that not only is there lag spikes in the charge, but I always get disconnected and have to wait up to 20 min. to come back. Is the only fix a new router? I have been an avid Sion player since his champ update and i really enjoy playing Vi when F2P. Currently, I am in another bout of Leave Buster because I got Zac on ARAM as the first time i've played him.

I just had this bug while playing sion, it made him unplayable. I looked at my ping while using my Q and every single time it went into the red. Many times it caused me to walk straight into my oponent, for 3-4 seconds i couldnt control sion at all.

Has there been any word from Riot at all?

I have the same problem now, honestly it makes no sense... I also use the SAME exact router too... so I'm so confused right now
