Horrible for ping-based games

I've noticed since I've switched WLAN sticks (I've used this product for over 2 months now) This WLAN Stick has been HORRIBLE for "ping-based games" such as shooting games or anything that is reliant on ping. The more people in my server or game the more I freeze/lag and even sometime disconnect..

Horrible and DO NOT recommend buying.

(Its requiring me to log into my google account to put it at 1 star rating which im too bothered for, so in actual fact I'm rating this 1 star instead of 3)

Good value with stability concerns

Easy install. Occasionally the PC will leave the wifi network and all SSIDs disappear. A few seconds later the SSIDs will return and the PC connects. No additional software / firmware available so am just living with it at the moment. Happens once every few days. Have had this operational for several weeks now.

Would constantly bluescreen my PC.

Was originally working fine but then after a couple of weeks started to bluescreen my PC. I tried re-installing drivers multiple times and nothing worked - my pc would bluescreen within minutes or even seconds of the adapter being plugged in. I had this happen with different adapters on different PCs as well so it might just be bad luck but either way, the thing didn't work.
