PCIe WiFi Card
PCIe WiFi Card
Heres one for you, haunted hardware! My TP Link W88...ND...something or other (the cheap one thats popular on Amazon) WiFi card WILL NOT work properly with my new TP Link TL wr841n router....... For some reason my little USB wifi adapter works better. Using it the wifi is faster by a MASSIVE amount, and more importantly the USB one dosnt just stop working for no reason. Wheras the PCIe card just stops working sometimes. And tells me the network has no internet access even though it freaking does! I know that because the USB one works fine. This is the most baffling thing I think I have ever dealt with. It makes no sense..... So. My question is. Should I just buy a diffrent PCIe WiFi card (thinking of the Asus PCE AC68 as that seems pretty fool proof). Or is there something I can do to get my TP Link one working. It works fine with the other routers in the building, but not my TP Link one.....which makes no sense cos...same manafacturer. Any help would be great. Im relly stuck and confused!
It seems to function properly when I launch a webpage, but it stops working after a few clicks. Switching tabs or using YouTube doesn’t help either. I’m connected via USB Wi-Fi and everything operates normally. Even with outdated drivers on the PCIe card, there’s no noticeable difference.
so some things work some doesnt? Check your Wifi Controllers on Control Panel. Disable everything that can take control of the incoming network such as a VPN, i used NordVPN Premium and it disabled wifi for everything accept like 5 programs. Even on mobile it caused 2 apps on my phone to not work, while everything else was fine.
I don’t have a VPN set up. It functions briefly before stopping unexpectedly. I’ve been using the USB Wi-Fi adapter for about six hours without issues. The PCIe card also stops working after just six minutes.
