ok, so i just bought this new pc and it was running fine, no problems whatsoever.
Specs:
GPU: Geforce GTX 1050 TI
Ram: 8gb
Processor: AMD FX 6300 ~3.5Ghz (6 cores)

after about 3 weeks or so, the wifi now sometimes gets incredibly limited and i cant find out why: pages wont load, chrome freezes, sometimes the internet at the bottom says "no internet, secured" and other times it will just disconnect on its own.

i went for a cheaper option for this particular computer to save a bit of money and got a USB wifi adapter instead of a full on wifi card, which could be the cause of all this, however, it was working perfectly fine downloading all my games at a solid 3.5MBps.

this is the wireless adapter(not advertising, please dont ban me kek ^): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-link-mini-wireless-n-usb-adapter-black/2080328.p?skuId=2080328&extStoreId=&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=5f600b30-6b34-412d-9fe7-bb4dd55a7de8&ksprof_id=3&ksaffcode=pg218887&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2&gclid=Cj0KCQjw78vLBRCZARIsACr4cxzR0-m-oOlwIjJ5Lf-cxP86vnJQ6OjGsX3OGut_JYttLwhKZv5DQIgaAssaEALw_wcB

this is what my connection normally looks like: https://imagebin.ca/v/3UHFR7hYSSqZ

and this is what it has been like lately: https://imagebin.ca/v/3UHFpAELjSVn

as you can see, it is quite a drop and the website couldnt even load the upload test, it just simply quit.

i have tried mulitple solutions such as reinstalling the wireless drivers, changing dns, flushing dns, changing internet security options, turning off firewall, changing firewall rules, resetting the modem, changing the modem security type, i even tried a fresh install of windows and that didnt fix it either

please help me fix this issue as it is incredibly inconvenient

i have checked the other devices and they are fine, i ran the same test on my laptop and the results are the normal connection speed, even when my pc gets the bad connection, so it has to be an issue with my pc

Edit: My wifi adapter comes with a config utility, and this is what it displays: https://imagebin.ca/v/3UHUHr1ZlkLh
