A7000 Usb3.0 Adaptor wifi ping spikes
I had this wifi adapter for a while and I managed to fix this issue a long time ago but all of the sudden my wifi adapter stopped working as efficiently as before. I used to be able to run discord pe...
- I gave up and decided to just buy a new product and now my wifi works again...
Next day update, all looks to be well. Ping/Latency under 10ms with a random spike now and again which i'm attributing to my own router issue but looks to have fixed the other issue. Will try a game later with discord and update!
Im still having the same issues I noticed my wifi completely turns off or it says connected but no internet when I stream on discord. I also notice it spiked really hard after a couple of minutes.
I have had issues previously I noticed when I game, but not when I'm just browsing that showed a spike every minute or so. Apparently it was the device disconnecting from the wifi to try to find a better connection or something, but it is driven by a windows setting.
Maybe try, in CMD:
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="WiFi"
to turn it back on (make sure to turn it back on when you are finished otherwise when you restart PC, it won't find any networks!) use the below command
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="WiFi"
where "WiFi" is the name of your network adapter.
If you're not too sure, just google the command to validate what i'm mentioning, a lot of gamers notice because of the spikes, I noticed because of CSGO 🙂
- I tried running the cmd u mentioned and it says I don't have it? Not sure what that means
