Router Issues

Not a cRPG problem...but need some help here.

I'll try to make this quick:
I am WIRED into my router.

- my ping used to be around 50ms
- over time it rose to around 70-70ms
- then very recently it started doing huge spikes into the 200's
- connecting directly to the modem (bypassing router) gave me a ping of around 50ms again with NO spikes
- so i decided it might be my router (linksys E2500), so I got a new one (same model) to test
- ping wired through new E2500 router is 75ms (still with spikes), ping wired directly to modem is still around 50ms no spikes.

What is going on?
Do I need to try a different router brand/model or something?  Why is my connection 20ms slower and irregular when plugged into my router rather than just plugged into my modem.

I do not have heavy traffic on my wireless network (and again, I do not use it, I am wired, others in house use it for light internet usage).
