Netgear A6210 Wireless Adapter Ping jumps

I have a Netgear A6210 Wireless Adapter that I got because my desktop computer does not have a wireless adapter. I installed the drivers and It worked good but when I play csgo my ping is fine until some time later when it goes way up high and I start lagging. But that only lasts for a couple of seconds and then i'm back to normal. I have tried to reinstall diffrent versions of the drivers but it happens with all of them. I have even tried changing the wireless channel on my router.

I don't use the genie. Just the standalone driver. (It does also happen with the genie).

 

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

Do you have USB2 port as well as USB 3 on your desk top? Then try both ports.

Wonder if you are using Genie? If yes, completely deinstall the software suite(Genie + driver) then just try the free standing driver only.

I don't use the Genie. And I have tried re installing the drivers multible times. Even older versions.

For me, last thing is whether this problem happens at certain time of day. Usually in the evening 'net traffic is busier if there not enough

bandwidth availabe this kinda thing can happen.  Iam in a way lucky not having those problems. Run speed test at different times of the day. Is it steady at full speed you supposes to get from your ISP?

I tried running speedtest a few times some days ago at diffrent times. They are nearly completaly same. And I did use a powerline before and it was completely stady. So I belive it's the device.

Seems like it then. When I do ping test I pick known target like www.yahoo.com same with speed test.
