Windows 10: USB WIFI connection keeps stopping

I have this computer for few years now, but recently, after few minutes of use WIFI connection permanently drops and no other networks show up in the taskbar.When I try to reset the USB WIFI NIC, by unplugging it, the computer does not recognize it being unplugged or re-plugged No notification sound. But when I restart the computer, during windows shot-down process, I can hear Notification sound play that the NIC is plugged in. My WIFI Nic is connected through same USB Hub as my mouse and keyboard and they both work wile WIFI Drops.I know that this is Windows issue because this computer is

Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.

 

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 ?

 

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
