Well ethernet outlets don't just grow, someone has to put them there, but I get the point, drilling holes through walls isn't always an option.
Could be at least four different things:
-software
-your pc
-interference
-the adapter
Test the adapter on a different pc, in a location where "other devices" got the full 30 mbps. Fast -> adapter is fine
Test with one of the "other devices" in at your pc's location. Slow -> interference
Most other tests could result in false positives or require more information or a simply more complicated so I'll save those for later.

Powerline connectors are also a interesting solution for when routing cables is not an option. Be sure that the electrical connection of the house supports them tho.

if you have coax in your room you can get one of these. theyre kind of expensive but they work pretty well.

Why not just turn off wireless power saving from device manager? Click properties, power management tab or something like that and you're set. Just untick allow windows to turn the device off to save power; it affects throughput a lot
