Sporadical ping spikes every 5 sec over Wi-Fi AX1800

Hello,
I have an AX1800 router, and I'm experiencing sporadic ping spikes over a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection (as shown in the attached image). These spikes are significantly impacting my video conferencing and gaming experience.
I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including changing the channel width, manually configuring different channels, disabling EasyMesh, and adjusting additional settings like the Beacon interval etc, but nothing has resolved the issue.
A quick search revealed some related topics (specifically with AX1800 TX20U adapters), where it was suggested that this issue might be related to 802.11kv packets sent from the router. I wonder if there's a way to disable the 802.11kv/r features—unfortunately, I haven't found an option to do so.
This issue clearly seems to be related to the Wi-Fi connection, not the ISP, as everything works fine (ping is stable) when I use an Ethernet connection to the router.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this frustrating issue.
Thank you!
thanks a lot for your reply!
though I am afraid that the guideline does not address my specific issue, since I do not observe the persistent high or average ping, rather sporadical repetitive ping spikes (please see the screenshot attached).
the closest one is case 3 -> however, I've changed configurations to minimize the possibility of interference (for instance defined dedicated channel, not occupied by any neighboring routers), see the screen:
Additionally, the current firmware is up to date:
