Windows 10: Why is my wifi adapter causing lag spikes?

The wifi adapter I have seems to be causing constant lag spikes on my computer. The speed is fine but the severe spikes every few seconds make it impossible to voice/video call or play online games. None of the other devices connected via wifi have this problem and strangely when I connect via mobile hotspot on my computer the connection is much more stable, only very occasionally spiking once every five or ten minutes.Just in case, this is the wifi adapter:https://www.alliedgaming.in/product/allied-usb-wifi-adapter/And also the I have a wifi extender if that matters:https://www.amazon.com.au/

Frequent and regular lag spikes on Wifi

Thank you for the clarification.

There are a lot of possible causes for this matter. One possible cause is with your
Networking Hardware. However, we need to make sure that it is the case.
We suggest that you perform these methods of troubleshooting and check
if there's any changes:

Method 1: Reset TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  this
  command:
  
  • 
    netsh
    int
    ip
    reset and hit
    Enter.
    

Exit
Command Prompt
and
monitor your
WiFi connection.

Method 2: Disable auto turn-off of
WiFi device.

Go to
Network and Sharing Center. At the
right pane, click
Change adapter settings.
Right-click
on your
connection name (WiFi name)
and go to
Properties.
Click
the
"Configure..."
button
and go to
Power Management
tab.
Uncheck/disable
the
radio button
for
"Allow this device to turn off this device to save
power". And then,
Restart the PC (Important).

Method 3: Reconfigure TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  these following
  commands:
  
  • 
    netsh
    int
    tcp set heuristics
    disabled
    
  • 
    netsh
    int
    tcp
    set global
    autotuninglevel=disabled
    
  • 
    netsh
    int
    tcp set global
    rss=enabled
    

If the issue still persists, kindly contact your
computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

Frequent lag spikes on wifi connectivity

I was recently forced to switch from ethernet cable to a wifi connection.

At ethernet connection i had no issue of ping spikes but now in wifi im experiencing frequent lag spikes from 100ms-300ms.

I have already tried resetting the TCP/IP, disabling auto turn off of WiFi device, reconfiguring TCP/IP, disabling wlan autoconfig but to still no solution has come up to my problem.
