I've tried disconnecting devices but that didn't seem to do anything...

I've pinged it to my router and google.ca and youtube.ca
I get around the same ping except the ping before the spike is lower

Do you get the spike when pinging your router? If so can you post a screenshot?
If it is happening just pinging your router than it is entirely an internal issue, could be something interfering with the wireless signal.

Ok, yikes that is quite the jump to 900ms, Do you have other wireless devices that have the same issue, or is it just your computer? Do you live in a house or an apartment building? (Apartment building tend to have a boat load of wireless networks)

The spikes on your laptop are significantly less than the ones on your desktop by a huge amount, but they are still undesirable. It is very difficult to troubleshoot wireless performance issues as there are many variables (different wireless NIC's, potential driver issues), interference from other close by wireless networks, interference due to walls and other objects.
Since this started happening has there been any change as to what is between you and the wireless router?
Also if you take your laptop and put it next to the wireless router do you still see the same issue?

Thats fine, I figured it would have been some soft of wireless interference, If you know how to you can try changing wireless Channels your devices are using. Also are you connected to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? 5Ghz has less traffic higher throughput but reduced range

In your case I would try channel 1, which network is yours?. The only real channel options are 1,6,11 because if choosing 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,13 would overlap with at least two other frequency bands.

I'm kinda confused, right now I'm just changing my password but until then
I'm usinga software called wifiinfoview to try to find my wifi channel rn
and it says Channels range 4-12
