  1. WiFi always stops working after boot, have to unplug adapter


    ... and plug it back in, to get internet working again. What happens usually is that I log in, and the internet is working, but not connected. I have it set to automatically reconnect to my WiFi, but it never does. I have to manually connect it. Then a few minutes later, I see the signal icon drop to a single dot, and it stops working again, and the troubleshooter won't get past the initial problem scan, and the network settings won't load.. Until I unplug it. And plug it back in. When I unplug it, the troubleshooter finally responds and says there may be an issue with the driver, and offers me the option to "fix" it using admin privileges, but this only works temporarily. On top of that, it keeps dropping signal repeatedly ever since Windows updated today to the April update. It just did it again, while I was typing this. Please help! This is driving me up the wall!
    It's a TP-Link Archer T4UHv2.

    WiFi adapter disables itself

    Im having a similar problem, i have a Netgear usb wifi adapter, that never gave me any issues until i upgraded to 10. i find that unpluging and repluging helps, however this stop gap doesnt always work. sometimes i have to repeat it as often as 30 min
    later. If anyone knows of a more permanent fix i welcome them to share it with us!

    Windows 10 Upgrade Recently. Lan internet cutting out after 5-10 mins.

    Anyone else having this issue? Basically, after about 10 mins of internet browsing, my lan connection cuts out and I have to unplug and go to WIFI. The browser stops working until I unplug and then it goes to WIFI.

  4. WiFi always stops working after boot, have to unplug adapter

    Update: It was repeatedly dropping signal earlier when I booted up the PC, so I removed the Microsoft drivers and disabled driver updates through Windows Update, then installed the TP-Link drivers. Hopefully that fixed it.
