Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1030.29.618.2019

Hi, so I bought the adapter today, I setup the adapter, like installing the drivers, etc.

 

I went into a game like "Apex Legends", or any game that must utilize Internet, it just says Connection lost and whatsoever, or if I get in a game, I would have constant lag spikes.

 

I have the latest drivers, I put the adapter in to USB 3.2 Gen 1, and tried 3.2 Gen 2. I have a Archer C80 Router, and on 5Ghz Wifi. But the speedtest.net results are fine, or like anything non gaming related has no issues, everything loads up fast. 

 

So, at this point I am not sure what to do here.

Hi, welcome to the community.

Online Gaming, especially multiplayer games has a high demand on network latency and an Ethernet connection would be a better choice than Wi-Fi.

Did your computer have its own built-in wireless adapter? or have you ever considered a higher standard, like a Wifi 6 network adapter?

 

At the same time, you could refer to the following suggestions to see whether it could improve the network lag a little bit:

1. put the antenna of T3U plus directly towards Archer C80 and put them in a proper distance, 3-5 meters would be great.

2. change the 5Ghz wireless channel of C80 to channel 48 and channel width 80mhz.

3. manually install the following driver for T3U plus

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hi, so I tried all but 2.

Cause my ISP when installed the new router put a password on the router which I don't know. So I can't really change that setting.
