Windows 10: Internet drops every 2 minutes consistently (usb wireless adapter)

I am using a inamax ac1200 wireless adapter and I am on university wifi.


I had this same problem last term however I found out that it was because of windows powering down the usb port and after disabling that it was fine. When I started using my computer again this term the problem had returned even though I still had the powering down of usb ports and my wireless adapter disabled.


I have tried many things such as trying to update drivers, uninstalling drivers and a bunch of other things


If I look at task manager after a lag spike it shows send/receive drops to 0 for a couple of seconds. I timed how long was between each lag spike and it was exactly 2 minutes (+-2s but that is probably due to errors in me timing) and this was measured over 14 minutes while I watched a twitch stream.


Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

Wireless adapter?

What about transfer speeds for internet. If you have a real fast internet connection, will the USB adapter bottleneck your speed, or is is internet even fast enough to max out USB transfer speeds?
Which is faster, basically, USB wireless or PCI wireless? Is internet
