Hello

Recently I upgraded my PC from windows 7 to windows 10 and after buying a new Wi-Fi adapter, because the old one wasn't compatible with windows 10, i noticed that my ping is much higher at times than it was. I asked a friend to give me his adapter he's using on his windows 8.1 without a problem, but on my windows 10, ping spikes. I connected my PC directly to the router and guess what, not even a single spike. But whats the matter? On the box of my adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN822N) It says windows 8 compatible, nothing about windows 10. Maybe its not fully compatible and that causes the spikes?
I also called my ISP to make sure its not my internet, technician came twice at home and he said the problem is in my adapter. My ping is most of the times 1-3 ms, but sometimes it just goes crazy for a second, and then it normalises. The lad explained me the ping goes high, because my adapter loses connection with the router or something like this.

Here are some pictures :

I really hope someone has any kind of solution because its so annoying. Its just unplayable!

It seems that this might be driver issues of this adapter. I've read somewhere that they forced downgrade for the last official drivers which were created for win 8. Check in device manager is your driver from MS that might confirm the issues. What exact revision is your card? Is it V3? if so then downgrade to driver version 1026.6.1217.2013 was confirmed to work out the issues with dropping connection.

I installed it manually as i was trying different drivers to see if this will fix the issue
 
lol funny that most of the probs with wireless in here have something to do with TPlink adapters

Their drivers are useless. Or non-existent. Esp if you're using Win10.

Most of their adapters dont have Win10 drivers. Or they may have drivers, but only 1/2 of the wireless adapter works.

I'm using their WDN3200. I had to wait until Win10 AU came out for 2.4 and 5 ghz to work. Previous versions of Windows installed the driver, but only detected 2.4 not 5 GHZ..

I had to use a 3rd party program before Win10 AU came out so 2.4 and 5 GHZ worked

Whats the hardware version of this adapter, since there's 3 of them.

If you can find out what the version is you maybe able to find out what chipset it uses. And find a better driver for it
