Time out of every game I play. But internet isn't down completely.

Ok so recently I have built a new gaming desktop and I got a wireless adapter for it becuase I thought it would be easier doing that then running a wire, so I built the computer at my friends house and everything worked fine, had no internet problems. played any game no problem... but then I get home firstday its fine, I download a bunch of games before I got to bed, next day I get on I try and play Counter Strike Global Offensive and can't complete a full length match without being timed out. Character freezes and the same happens for any other game for instance League Of Legends, Call of Duty World At War, Rocket League no matter what game I play it kicks me out either right away or halfway through a match and its getting really annoying, also right after it kicks me out I check to see if its working so I open google and bam its working.. I open facebook bam its working, I try to reconnect to my game and it wont let me ... Ow I've been waiting to build this gaming pc for quite sometime and IF I can reslove this issue thatd be great.

I have no antivirus.
I'm on a fresh upgrade of windows 10.
No programs that would conflict I literally only have steam installed.

I have a Belkin Router N300 WiFi Router
model F9K1007v1 (01B)
the adapter I'm using is TP-LINK TL-WN725N Nano Wireless N150 Adapter, 150Mbps

The most likely explanation is weak wifi. It doesn't cut off but has enough latency because of packet losses that the games time out. Go ahead and run wires if possible. It is the only just works network and you will never regret putting in some effort to do it. Otherwise look into powerline networking. Here is a recent review to give you some guidance.
