I'm having trouble getting usable (not perfect, just usable) internet speeds for gaming.

I have a MacBookPro I use for work and a CPU I use for gaming. My internet setup is an Xfinity bundle modem/router with a netgear Nighthawk router connected via ethernet
and setup as an access point.

I have a TP-Link N900 wireless adapter for my CPU. I've also tried sharing the wifi connection through the Mac with a USB.3 to Ether (10/100/1000) to the CPU.

Speed tests (mbps) -

Mac (wifi) - 15down/4up
CPU (wifi) - .5down/.1up
Mac while tethered - .7down/.4upd
CPU while tethered - .6down/.2up

I have the latest driver for both the Ethernet adapter and the Wireless adapter in the PC. The ether cable is good, will get 75 mbps at over other connections.

I am not using a wired connection because the router is unaccessible via hard line and my "helpful" landlords are spawned from h***.

Please help!

i think he means PC i'm not sure but anyways,, i'm not familiar with macbooks but i assume that's a laptop, and if it is then it's portable which means depending where you are using it you could have better signal then the PC thus making it up for the faster speed you get using your laptop. But if that's not the case then i guees u either are having driver related issues, windows downloading, torrenting, on PC and that's why ur speed is so poor or maybe your WIFI card is broken.

You should do a speedtest on your mobile phone and see the results. ALSO test your internet speed on www.speedtest.net it's very accurate

if still not fixed maybe try setting different wireless channel or disable QoS
Also if you are a windows 10 user than...

Also if you are a windows 10 user than that adapter might face compatibility issiues since it does not fully support windows 10. it might run but might not perform to well
