    Periodic ping spikes for wireless network adapters


    Hi guys!

    I have been having issues with my wireless network adapters since upgrading to Windows 10 earlier this spring. What I've noticed is that I consistently get periodic ping spikes (~3k ms) at regular intervals, which means I'm essentially unable to play any online games (specifically CS:GO and DOTA2) on my desktop. A wired connection is not an option for me, as the socket is too far away from my room.

    Initially I was able to stabilize my wireless connection by reverting to an older driver for my Netgear wireless dongle. This changed after the Windows 10 anniversary update (was that the name of the new update...?) and I'm back to getting periodic ping spikes again.

    I've tested both of my wifi dongles on my laptop and I get a consistent connection with no spikes during those tests, meaning that the issue shouldn't be with the dongles.

    I've done a lot of googling to try and find a fix but nobody seems to have the exact same issue that I have and I'm honestly desperate at this point. I've updated drivers, so the problem shouldn't be there. Could the problem perhaps be in power supply?

    My computer specs:
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00 GHz
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
    Memory: 10 GB RAM
    Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VII Ranger
    Network Adapter: Netgear A6100 wifi dongle
    Asus EZ N802.11b/g/n wifi dongle

    Also my router is the Netgear R6100 (dual band).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

  2. Problems with WiFi

    Hello!

    My problem is that my WiFi randomly goes limited and all my internet applications disconnect. I have tested to ping www.google.com and my default gateway via cmd and the results show that I sometimes have ping spikes (>2000 ms) to my router or it says "Request
    timed out."

    I've tried to switch the network channel but that didn't help. There's literally no other wifi networks in my area to interfere with my wireless adapter. The wireless drivers are up to date according to device manager. What can be done to resolve these problems
    between my PC and the router?

    PS. No other PCs on the same network have these kind of issues.

    Messed with registry, can't find network to connect to now

    So, background of the story is I have an Intel wifi adapter, and I was getting constant ping spikes. I went to do searches online to find a solution, and after trying some things, I came to a post which said to basically add ScanWhenAssociated to the registry
    and set it to 0. I restarted, and now I found out now I can't even find a connection to connect to, and I don't know what to do. Any solutions to this or am I screwed?

    Edit: Since I likely won't get help anytime soon, the only solution I came up with was resetting the PC(not the full reset) which solved one of the issues. Still no permanent solution for the wireless adapter causing ping spikes on the computer.
