[SOLVED] WiFi Dongle is low or lagging

[poorbugger]

So i bought this for my pc
https://shopee.com.my/product/180984/1386149726
and i connected to my house wifi.

The wifi signal is on full bar 2.4ghz. I get fullspeed on it but it's just that sometimes when i'm not using my pc for a long time and i return to my pc, websites take a long time to load. For a few seconds as if there's no internet. After a few seconds, everything is back to normal. That is more of an annoyance. But the real problem is during my gaming session, my ping is fine. It's 80ms like normal but after a long session like 2 hours in, my ping will spike up to 999ms for no reason.

No one else is using the wifi. I checked using my pc speed monitor, no other applications is hogging the bandwidth as well. Usage is 0mb/s. Then i need to wait for like 3 minutes or so and the ping will drop. Sometimes i just get straight up disconnected. I've already installed the latest driver on it. I also disable the allow pc to turn off this device to save power option in the network adapter options. I've already flush my dns as well. Any advice?

Cheap wifi adapters can do this, the link gets an error but guessing that is not one of the top models going by where it was purchaced. Could be interference from other devices, the router may be an issue. How close are you to the router and what is in between the computer and the router? Walls, floors, etc... Check for newer firmware for the router. May be a good idea to buy a higher quality WiFi adapter, of the quite a few I used the best so far has been the Netgear AC ones with a fold-able antenna like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/NETGEAR-A6...Lv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2386202.c100677.m4598 ,
