QUICK THING BEFORE STARTING
I original posted this to reddit.com in /r/techsupport but soon realized that was fruitless. I am replacing all the links up here so anywhere you see 'here's a link' just ignore it and think I'm a dumbass

D-link stick: http://www.dlink.com/ca/en/home-solu...-n-usb-adapter
Laptop: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/produ...7f863f2405en02 (not touchscreen)
My problem: My internet connection is not stable and I have tried everything. I stutter when playing games which allows my team to lose and I can't have a skype conversation because people cut out every 10-15 seconds.
Computer Specs: I don't have a great laptop, to put it blunt. Here is the link to it on future shop. It says windows 8, but I have windows 7 running on this.
What I've done: The wifi card in the laptop is terrible, it is the worst. So I went out and bought This . The first thing I tried was connecting both the original wifi on my laptop and the d-link stick to the wifi. It didn't help. So I used only the stick and it got a bit better, but ultimately it is still unusable. I have tried other things like deleting cookies and what not, but they're not the problem. Here is the link to the stick specs
The router: Here is where I think the problem lie. My router Seen here . Is positioned right here . Could the interference from the Tv signals be messing with the router. I find after 10ish, the internet improves significantly, although this is off peak hours so what do I know.
ISP: My isp is currently rogers. I have not attempted to contact them to try and sort out this issue.
Bonus troubleshooting: My little brother plays online games on the wii. While watching him play I noticed he was getting similar lag. I'm not saying the wii is a powerhouse capable of good online play, but it was identical to what I was experiencing.
If anyone can help me out and let me return to my games in peace I'll buy you a humble bundle or reddit gold or something.
Thanks
