Predator 15x Wi-Fi Issues

Hey there, thank you for reading my post. I recently purchased the Predator 15x Laptop, following a few recommendations. However, I've started having this strange issue that is almost completely ruining my experience with the laptop. The gaming experience is fantastic, and more than capable of handling any game I throw at it. However, the wi-fi adapter that is included with the laptop is probably the worst experience I have ever seen in any laptop, at even the cheapest prices. I bought a laptop because I'm constantly on the move, switching between wifi sources, whether it be my house, school, a friend's house, or a library. Unfortunately, after turning it on after sleep mode, it takes from 5 to ten minutes for the internet to work at all, even though the settings may say I am connected. In addition, it is very susceptible to extreme ping spikes, for seemingly no reason, and cannot be solved through restarts of the adapter or the computer, and I know that it's not the router because I have sat next to someone playing the same game as I am and I will go up to 500ms while they remain at a steady 25ms. Surely this is not normal, especially for a supposedly high-end gaming hardware, with such a hefty price. I would really appreciate and responses. Thank you!
