Windows 10: Wifi lag

Hello,


So recently, I've noticed something on my computer ; my wifi is unstable. I can assure the problem comes from my laptop after many tests. Here is my problem :

My wifi goes from 50mb/s usage for example, checked on task manager to 0 during 5-10 seconds which actually stops my pc from using wifi pc is still connected to the network thought . This seems to happen only when the pc uses a lot of wifi "data" I guess In this case, when I want to display a cloud gaming session, doesn't happen for simple tasks such as watching a movie or youtube... , the more internet data it uses, the more frequent it happens. I already tried the following:

- uncross "allow pc to shut down this device for battery usage" in the network adapter, in device manage

- create a new windows profile

- check task manager while playing this is where I noticed the wifi usage dive

- use a ethernet connexion problem seemed to be solved but I want wireless

- contact NVIDIA because I thought that maybe the problem comes from their cloud gaming service

- disable all malware protections

None of them really worked

I'm a 100% sure the problem does come from my pc and not from my rooter.

I'm running out of ideas and I think the problem might be located deeper.

I really need your help


Kind regards


Khalil

Thank you for the clarification.

There are a lot of possible causes for this matter. One possible cause is with your

Windows 10 wifi not turning on Acer Aspire laptop

In order to get the list of available wireless networks, you have to:

1. Switch on Connect to suggested open hotspots (see the screenshot in question);
   
2. Click on Wifi icon in the right corner. Now you have your networks back.
   

After that the parameter from Step 1 can be turned off, networks will be listed normally after restarting Wifi.

P.S. I feel rather stupid at the moment. I thought that open hotspots are passwordless hotspots and so are presumably not very safe. So of course I've turned that off during installation.
Really hard to see any logic in this case.
