Two distinct PCI and WiFi cards leading to data loss issues.
Two distinct PCI and WiFi cards leading to data loss issues.
While using WiFi on my PC with a PCI-e wifi card, I experience intermittent packet loss every few seconds. This mainly occurs during gameplay, especially in FPS titles like Overwatch. I suspect the problem lies with the card itself, so I replaced it and still face the same issue. Packet loss isn’t present with Ethernet, my phone, or any other connected device, indicating the source is my PC. I can switch to Ethernet when possible, but sometimes I’m forced to use WiFi. The issue has persisted for over four years despite updates to drivers and BIOS. I’ve tried various fixes without success. It seems to be related to the motherboard, as it happened with two different PCIe cards and a cheap USB dongle, but not Ethernet or other devices. I’m hoping for a straightforward solution or confirmation if this is indeed a hardware concern. Thanks!
