Problem with NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK A7000 AC1900 USB ADAPT

Hi, so i bought the (NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK A7000 AC1900 USB ADAPTER) A while ago, i noticed i have problem when am playing games like csgo, overwatch and apex legends. 
So for example every 3-8 seconds all enemy/team character will stop for about some ms and then teleport to the location they actually are.

On overwatch the payload and enemy/team characters will stop the same way.

 

I have tried other wifi adapters and doesnt seem to get the same problem when using them, i have also checked download speed and packet loss and both are looking good.
I wonder if someone have a fix for the problem, let me know.

 

Sincerely tomkaste

    Games and WiFi don't always play nicely together. It all depends on the router, your Internet speed and other variables.

     

    Have you looked for newer drives for your USB adapter?

      I have tried both the standalone version and the other one, also downloaded the latest driver from the netgear website.

    Hi,

     

    I have been suffering the same problem. In Battlefield 4, I will stutter and everyone in the map will stop. Then some seconds later, they teleport. The intervals at which it does this are the same every time.
