PC has high ping while my laptop and phone have perfect pings. Any ideas?

So first off, this doesn't happen that often. In fact, it's almost random, but whenever it felt like my PC was delayed in playing video games or stuff, I would do a ping test on the PC and my other devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone). I had 700 ping on my PC and around 12 ping on my MacBook and iPhone. Could something be wrong with my wifi USB adapter? It's a Panda Wireless PAU06 300Mbps N USB Adapter that I bought on Amazon a couple months back.

Yeah it either can be the adapter, the location of the Router or the usb. try it out of 3.0!

Assuming your other devices are in the same location as the desktop and pinging the same IP address, then the problem is almost certainly the WiFi adaptor. Start by installing the latest drivers.

All latest drivers are installed.

Tried both, it's the same result.

Change the adapter and see if it works fine or try the same one out on any other network!

I'll try that, but it's really hard because I don't even know when the ping spikes. Like I said, it's really random. Maybe I should get a new adapter and see if I get any ping spikes, if not I'll know it's the Panda adapter?
