Windows 10: Windows 10 External Wifi adapter ping spikes - why won't they fix it?

I have encountered a problem when i moved to working from home and brought my work PC home with me. When surfing through a usb Wifi adapter, I get ping spikes every 4 - 5 seconds. Looked for a solution, i see that the only thing that works is turning off the wlan autoconfig by using this command:
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-Fi"

It works for the pings, but you have to enable it again when you restart, connect, then disable it. And if anything happens and you get disconnected, you have to do this again.
I've been reading tons of threads in the microsoft support pages, they always blame the router or adapter, then advise to contact your "network administrator".
This seems lame, and it looks like it has been around since windows vista!..

Why is this problem overlooked when it should have been solved 10 years ago?
In the age of working from home, this is really annoying when doing audio/video conferences.

Permanent fix for WIFI Ping Spikes

I tried switching of the power management option, no results. Also, I have no idea how this should have an influence. I don't have problems that my USB dongle is not waking up after sleep mode. I have a Wifi connection all the time. Just with enormous ping
spikes every 5-10secs, like I showed in my screenshots. I can also exclude any external software or windows updates because after disabling Wlanautoconfig via CMD it's working just fine, with all the possible external programmes running, including windows
update!

And my network connection is not slow or lagging, I have abnormal ping spikes, only really noticeable while gaming. And it has to be something in Windows that's causing it, I tried all the other possibilities (including hardware changes) with no success.

But it seems you can´t help me, so I have to stay with disabling it via CMD and then resetting my network after every restart and repeating the problem. Annoying but it works.

 

Wifi ping spikes

Hello,

I am experiencing ping spikes on certain wifi connection.

It has started in October, when I was at boarding house in Uni everything on wifi was smooth, but when I moved to homestay at connected to their wifi, I have started experiencing ping spike up to 2000ms every 30 seconds. So I couldn't play online games or
even streaming movies.

Than when I moved back to uni, ping got to it's normal state around 30-50ms.

When I came back in 2 month, same problem was still appearing, and restarting wifi router didnt help, so I decided to reset a PC and it didnt help at all, but I now have to download 150gb of games again.

I dont know what to do, I tried browsing, but I couldn't find anyone with same problem, please help.
