My desktop computer is reasonably high spec, or at least it was a couple years ago. But for some reason USB Wifi adapters just always have problems. I've bought 2 different brands of adapters, ASUS and Netgear, but both of them have issues with disconnecting and randomly slowing down to a crawl.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issue?

I am using USB 3.0, and i have reinstalled drivers, in case that's something someone suggests.

For a system that is allegedly high spec'd, we're only able to guess what the specs on the system may be. It's customary to include your full system's specs when posting a troubleshooting thread. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
USB adapters:
Peripherals:

Are you on the latest BIOS revision for your motherboard? Have you ruled out that there aren't any USB/chipset?Management Engine/MEI drivers pending installation?
