WiFi USB sticks have issues at 5GHz frequency.
Hello everyone, recently I purchased the Fritz WLAN AC 860 Stick, but I’m experiencing issues with 5GHz where ping spikes reach up to 500ms every second. I’ve had similar problems with other sticks as well—could it be a product issue or something with my router (Fritz Box 7560)? If you have any photos, please share! Thank you for your assistance!
The most effective method to check if the issue lies with the router or Fritz sticks is to swap in a known brand router, like ASUS or Netgear, and re-test. You can also connect directly via Ethernet to confirm whether the problem stems from your internet connection itself. Make sure you're not relying solely on USB WiFi sticks due to ease of setup, or verify if your device lacks native WiFi capabilities.
