    TP Link USB wifi dongle drops out


    I have two of these on both PCs. I have just installed OS 10 Pro 64 bit and only one of the USB Dongles stay connected the other one on Pc 1 keeps dropping out after 5 minutes or so. I need to re-insert the USB or reconnect the WIFI to it.

    I have unticked the option in device manager for all USBs to stop the PC from turning it off. All drivers are upto date also.

    Have a look at the power options in the adapter that is dropping. If all power saving has been disabled, check the general power plan to see what is going to sleep that may affect the adapter. If you fill in your system specs in your profile we can check to see if there is a hardware problem in your system that may affect it. On the failing adapter machine, in run command box, type ipconfig /all <Enter>
    At the small icon top left, right click, edit, select all, copy, paste into this thread...

    There seems to be a problem with ethernet, the default gateway should show the router address and the dns entrys won't get you anywhere, try changing them in the ipv4 properties to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 those are Cloudflare servers for dynamic name resolution.
