Fairly recently my motherboard's onboard wifi started having issues (I'm on an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-e.) Every 5 seconds or so the download and upload completely cut off for a few seconds. The result is that anything I'm doing with the internet, whether I'm watching youtube, doing online gaming or downloading a file, everything just cuts off. Speedtest.net sees lots of dips while a ping test shows spikes at over 3000ms, often just timing out. Task manager sees my speeds drop straight down to 0 for a few seconds, back up for about 5 seconds and then repeat. Windows says its a full connection and using my old usb wifi adaptor stops the drops outs (at the cost of slower speeds.)
I just tried using InSSIDer to see my networking environment using the onboard wifi. If I do anything while the program is running, the internet immediately drops out completely with "connected, no internet" which seems to flicker and the other networks that is detected gets dropped from the list and comes back every few seconds (this is using the onboard wifi.) I'm no longer sure if its interference or my antenna has become faulty. Its worth noting that the motherboard was serviced before for an unrelated problem.
I have tried:
Adjusting and reconnecting antenna
Restarting Windows
Killing processes on task manager
Doing a clean boot
Resetting the wifi adaptor
Resetting my network
Updating adaptor drivers
Resetting adaptor to factory defaults
Flushing DNS
Updating BIOS
Downgrading BIOS
Resetting Windows (personal files kept)
