Hi! So I recently bought TP-Link 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter for my Desktop PC which didn't have built in wi-fi. So I bought one of these and when Gaming, Downloading etc either my ping goes up (CS:GO) like a lot and it goes back down to normal, or when downloading, my internet normally downloads 2MB/S it goes down to KB and it goes back up to MB/S it's never stabble. And it really messes me up. Any suggestions on how to fix this? If you need any further information/details feel free to let me know.

Download a wireless network monitoring app. One common issue is interference. You may want to change the channel on the router to something less crowded.
BTW, this is a strong reason to move to 5 GHz. It's less crowded. Wireless keyboards and mice, Bluetooth, and older cell phones all use 2.4 GHz.

I use an Android app to do this: WiFi Analyzer, from Kevin Yuan. For Windows, I think I tried Acrylic Wifi:

The wireless bands are all separated into much smaller channels...much like over-the-air TV. Your router's admin software will include the ability to go in and change the channel. IIRC, 1 is the default...so also the most crowded. 6 and 11 are also crowded. A good wifi monitoring app will show you all the signals it sees, and will show the signal strengths of those signals, plus all the channels from your router.
