    WiFi USB Adapter disconnects when i'm downloading


    Hello,I have a problem with my WiFi USB Adapter. When i'm downloading something it disconnects me from the network and i don't know why...I have a TP-Link Archer T3U Plus and my network is fiber. I'm running Windows 20H2 Professionnal Build 19042.964. The problem appears all the time and no matter what I download.I've alreadey done some of the solution like uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", update the drivers of my WiFi adapter, disable sharing in the network section, flush DNS, reinstall the adapter, and a lot of others soutions that doesn't work for m

    :)

    Network Get Disconnect while Download/Watching Youtube - Wifi USB Adapter.

    there are several reasons for a disconnect.
    1) signal strength. being too far from the ap and something changing in the environment ( like closing a door). this is especially important for 5ghz as it has much lower range than 2.4ghz. if you're on 5ghz try dropping to 2.4 and see if it stabilizes.
    2) noise/channel selection. in dense areas someone else's wifi ( or other wireless device) may be interfering with yours. selecting a different channel may help.
    3) usb disconnect. the usb port may lose connection to the adapter for a second. trying a different usb port or an extension cable may yield better results. the extension cable may also help with the signal strength issue as you can move it around and see if you get better signal.
    4) power saving, set your power saving to max performance on the usb ports and wifi.

  4. WiFi USB Adapter disconnects when i'm downloading

    USB wifi adapter enabled but not connecting?

    I recently purchased a USB WiFi adapter for my desktop as an Ethernet cable is no longer an option for me. I downloaded the driver from the site on another computer and transferred/installed it onto the desktop via USB.

    I can see the adapter under 'Devices' however it still states it is not connected and cannot detect any WiFi networks. My laptop which is sitting next to it can see the connections fine so it doesn't appear to be a range issue.

    Also, under ipconfig, I have two reports; Ethernet adapter which is set as 'media disconnected' and then 'Wireless LAN adapter WiFi' which is also set as media disconnected.

    Is there a major step I'm missing here that is required? I have read the instructions that were included as well as the site's FAQ but they do not seem to be useful.

    For details, the computer is running Windows 10 and was fine with a cable. The adapter is 'devolo WiFi Stick ac'.
