Netgear A6100 Wirless Adapter lag spikes and unplayable ping during gaming
Bought one of these the other day to replace my old tp-link adapter and its been a constant headache since. I'm getting lag spikes up to 4000ms during gaming and usually a 150-200ms delay when gaming...

This device first came out in 2013. With AC600 wifi, it isn't exactly the newest wifi technology going. I am surprised that it is still on sale. It isn't something that Netgear sells directly to customers.
And your adapter is plugged into?
In general, wifi isn't recommended for gaming. It can never match wired speeds.
