Hoping someone can give me a hand with this and point me in the right direction.

After installing macOS Catalina 10.15.5 successfully, I went ahead and installed chris1111 drivers for my usb wifi adapter (Realtek 8811AU, https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Adapter), after connecting to a network everything became super laggy but when I disconnect everything looks fine again.

Connecting to the internet works fine and I use the same adapter on my hackintosh laptop (Intel CPU and using Clover on Catalina 10.15.4, not sure if it makes any difference).

This is how it looks when i'm not connected to a network: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hw8kwlewygbit5e/normal.mov?dl=0
And this is how it looks when I am: https://www.dropbox.com/s/czuzo4kzxegjxma/slug.mov?dl=0

I'm using OpenCore 0.5.8 and I followed this guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/

This is my part list:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
MOTHERBOARD: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
SSD: Western Digital Green 120 GB

I attached a screenshot of my EFI folder and my config.plist file in case I didn't do something properly.

Could this possibly be an USB mapping issue? It recognizes all of the USB I plug in on any port so I'm unsure if I need to map them.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I had same issue on my intel hackintosh -- i ended up mapping my own usb ports and creating my own usb kext via hackintool and the laggy behaviour stopped -- however something still happens which is that my speed drops from 200mbps to 30 mbps after sleep ... i opted to get a wifi extender and plug my hackintosh into it via ethernet instead...

Could you link me to a good hackintool guide?

I used steps 2-5 in the below link -- you will need a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.x device. I used a mouse dongle for USB 2.0 and a USB 3 flash drive (just be sure your flash drive supports 3.0 if you use one).
