What WIfi channel are you using? Is there a lot of congestion in your area?

Use a Wifi analyzer app on Android or https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH33N0N for Windows.

I meant to buy a new adapter to get faster speed, because i always have internet lag issue while i gaming

I see that you speedtested to different servers. Speedtest to Rogers in Toronto, ON. The auto server doesn't always yield the same results.

Try updating the driver through device manager.

-63dDm is good enough your link speed is decent. Do you have a 5GHz network?

OK cool. I've had issues when I just let windows auto detect hardware and not getting the most current driver.

I have the 5ghz one, but I dont know the password for that wifi

5GHz will always be faster than the 2.4GHz.

lower dDm is better or higher is better?

Lower dBm is better

I guess i need to consider looking at some better quality antenna instead

[Just.Oblivious]

Rosewill claims this card has a 3x3 MIMO radio, but I can only see two antenna's on the back. That's... odd. This likely means that one of the chains is sharing an antenna, or one of the antenna's is internal on the PCB.

 

If I were you I would return this card and get something with a proper 2x2 or 3x3 MIMO configuration with dedicated (matched) antenna's for each chain, preferably from a name brand.

That makes more sense, it's listed on Amazon with a 3x3 spec.

 

Use it on 5 GHz with 802.11ac and you should be fine.
