Hello,

 

since a few month I'm using an  Archer T3U adapter to connect my desktop PC (HP ProDesk400 G6 MT, Windows 10) via WLAN with the internet (Router: Magenta Fiber Box). The adapter is connected via an USB3.0 cable with the PC. From time to time the WLAN connection is interrupted for 10-30 seconds, I guess because the adapter tries to optimize the connection, even though I have disabled the option "Optimize WLAN channel" in the router settings. With my old adapter (Sitecom N300) which works just at 2.4 GHz, this doesn't happen.

 

I have played around with the adapter setting (e.g. turning "Enable Adaptivity" on and off) but I could not find the settings that solves the problem.

 

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

C

Thank you for your feedback, you could try some suggestions here: 

 

  • Disable Band- steering or roaming feature on router if there is any. 
  • Lower WiFi channel width  to 20Mhz (for 2.4Ghz) , 40Mhz ( for 5Ghz) and see if Wifi could be more stable. 
  • Please try this latest chipset driver for  and see if help with the issue:

Below is the instruction to manually install driver:

If the same issue happens,- may I know does the issue happen particularly on 2.4/ 5Ghz WiFi？How often does the issue happen? 
Does other pc or  laptop work fine with the same WiFi? Please check the motherboard of your computer and share a photo with us: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2722/

 

@Solla-topee Thanks a lot!

 

I have installed the recommended driver and changed the 5GHz option from 20/40/80 MHz to 20/40/ MHz (only this was possible) and the 2.4GHz option to 20 MHz.

The WiFi appears to be stable now, for the last week I couldn't observe any instability.
