Wireless USB Adapter extreme lag/dc

[carltonrandall]

I am using the WUSB6300 and I am getting really bad lag spikes/random dc. I am using the ASROCK 970 Extreme3 R2.O and an AMD FX-6300 on Windows 10. When I am using an Ethernet cable, i experience no lag/dc spikes. My computer is no longer near the modem. I first contacted Linksys and we discovered the driver was generic. Installed their driver and the speed increased, but it didn't get rid of lag/dc spikes. I've tried everything from switching channels 2.5/5 to exiting every program that might interfere with the speed. I currently play League of Legends and WOW. Any help would be great.

Try a long USB cable and see if you can place the adapter in a location that maybe gets better signals.

It is not programs that interfere with the wireless it is your neighbors and many modern wireless devices in your house.

You have already tried the most common solutions. If you have not set the channel width to 20mhz. This will reduce your total maximum speed but it increases you chance to get a clean signal.

There is not a lot you can do to fix wifi. Games are extremely susceptible to the variations in delay that are fundamental to wifi's method of dealing with interference and data corruption. If you can not get a acceptable connection I would consider powerline networks. They tend to work better for games.
