In that case I'd suspend worrying about these lag issues until after then.
One thing worth doing though is to cable connect to your router and run the speed tests again.

alright, i will go and try it
I don't want to be rude but all of these "don't know" or "no" answers aren't going to help us to help you.
You need to be able to test on a cable so that your wireless infrastructure can be ruled out - all sorts of things can cause slowing down - overlapping/congested channels (neighbours on the close/same ones), interference, bad drivers, poor wifi router/even incompatibility between router and card, etc etc.
You need to try and find the information about what your connection -should- be.

thanks for the reply but im only 15 and my parents deal with that stuff, ive moved my pc downstairs and play with it on wired connection and that has solved the problem

I understand but the analogy I always is is that you wouldn't take a car to a garage and say "It's broken. Fix it please". And in this case it's worse - it's like phoning them and saying it but then adding that you don't even know what make and model it is.
So that clearly shows an issue with the wireless. It could be distance related. How do other devices perform on wifi in your room?

Now that's more like it. As has been said there seems to be a wireless issue. Go to the wireless card vendors website and download the right driver for your card and OS.
Then uninstall the wireless card and reboot. Then install the downloaded driver. If that doesn't help I would suspect a faulty wireless card.

That's not the wireless driver, that's a LAN driver....

Right-click on it in Device Manager, select update driver and allow Windows to search for the best driver.

I did it and it says that the latest driver is 2018, is that correct ?

Probably. If so I think your wireless card may be faulty. I suggest you contact PCS, Live Chat seems to be the quickest method at the moment.
