Hi, I use a TP-Link WDN4800 wireless adapter on a Windows 10 computer. Whenever I'm booting up, there's a high chance that the Wifi adapter will not be working. It will show a red bar over the Wifi icon in the system tray. If I try to click on it to view the available networks, it says that there are none. I tried doing an "ipconfig /release" but it tells me that there is no media connected for Wifi. The problem always fixes itself after rebooting a few times, usually after the third or fourth time it will suddenly start working. This is an old adapter from 2013 and I couldn't find some Windows 10 drivers on their website - I'm suspecting this is the issue. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Is there any WIndows setting that could be causing it not to work on the first few tries? Thanks for the help
