Hello, I bought this USB wireless adapter, Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter
DWA-182. Everything works fine, browsing, listening to music, and games; except for World of Warcraft. I can play for about a minute or two before the game lags out. I can still talk to other players in the game, but i can't use any abilities or interact with any part of the game. Does anyone have any possible reasons for this? I think it is important to say I used the website to download the drivers, instead of using the disk that came with the USB stick, as I have no CD drive.

Also, I used to use the Zyxel N110, which worked perfectly. But I was borrowing it, so I couldn't just keep using it.

I also have an issue ONLY with gaming. I play rocket league and the lag spikes every 30 seconds or so pretty bad, so that's probably the disconnect you're experiencing. I had an NETGEAR N600 that died on me and that one was working fine up until the end.

I had the same issue, its using wireless period, I was getting consistent 1-2 second lag and would DC all the time and I had a similar $60 Linksys adapter, biggest waste ever..... I went to Cat 7 and never looked back. I almost never get lag anymore and I can't remember the last time I dc'd. It's a bit of a pain in the butt to wire, especially if you have to wire far, but it's much better than wireless. I will never play on a WiFi connection again, I do need a better router though.
