Windows 10: USB WiFi Adapter Frequently Drops Connection

While looking for a default USB driver, I accidentally replaced the driver for my WiFi adapter version 1030.44.809.2021 with a WinUSB driver version 6.1.7600.16385 using a program called Zadig and my internet connection has been dropping for 3-4 seconds every few seconds intermittently, even after I did a rollback to the previous driver. Below is the result of an internet speed test with the faulty connection other speed test websites yield similar results:Note that my internet speed on this test prior to this issue was around 50-60 Mbps download and 20-30 Mbps upload without any >300

Connection drops with USB Wifi adapter

Hi everyone,
since my laptop if far from my NetGear access point, I bought an external USB Wifi Adapter with antenna and it reaches very well my AP. Ookla Speedtest says the same speed as the wire connected devices.
The problem is when the download speed reaches its maximum rate (about 9 / 9.5 MB/s): the adapter stops downloading, ping to the router fails and the wifi icon on the tasktray turns into the world icon (no connection). I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it or disconnect the wifi connection and reconnect it to have it working again.
If i take my laptop near the AP and use the internal Wifi connection, it doesn't happen, it never disconnects.
I made a try with another laptop and the problem is the same.
I think the problem is the wifi adapter, I already sent back it to Amazon and bought another one, with no luck.
The chipset of the USB adapter is Realtek 8812BU.
My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (build SO 19044.1415).

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

 

USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

Hello

I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

1. I am using Windows 10
2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.








any idea how can I make connect to internet using my new Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps Wireless USB Adaptor - Wi Fi 2 on Windows 10 ?

 

Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

Thanks very much
