Turn OFF one of the host WiFis in the house hold. Having two maybe causing interferences. Also turn OFF the extender as well and see if the issue continues.
Seems like you have too much wifi signals going on there and adapter can't handle all the noise.
Also ensure latest driver is installed for the N150 adapter.
Try using channesl 1 and 40 or 11 and 48 on the host router that provides the primary WiFi.

I wish i could but one is my moms WIFI and one is my dads. So I am really stuck like that. Both are on opposite ends of the home though. Also need the extender otherwise I get 0 wifi signal at all. I updated a while back for the adapter but still same issue. Also no idea how to change channels cuz SPECTRUM is my main issue wifi. Been using this extender for like 10+ years. This is the only time I have an issue. Due to SPECTRUM you cant change anything but the password or the WIFI's name with the new routers and stuff.
