Hi,
I have a problem with my TL-WN881ND (EU) V2, it keeps losing connection after several minutes. I have to periodically use windows troubleshooting and it keeps detecting it with " default gateway is not available". After troubleshooting, it works fine for a while and then it keeps losing connection again. I use the latest library from https://www.tp-link.com/uk/download/TL-WN881ND.html#Driver . Tried looking at several forum post and applied their suggestions such as reinstalling the driver, tried some driver recommendation (Qualcomm Atheros AR9287), even updating windows (I now use windows 10, previously 7) but keeps getting same error. Would really appreciate for any suggestions.
Thanks.

@sureper @Kathy_Z Hello everyone.
I have a TL-WN822N WI-FI adapter and the next steps helped me:
- set static IP for my PC on the router (MAC address to IP mapping) e.g. 192.168.0.200 and in TCP/IP config;
- set a static default gateway in TCP/IP config to the address of the router e.g. 192.168.0.1 together with the DNS addresses that were provided to my router by provider:
Important!
Looks like the issue started to be reproducible after some windows update because it was working previously ok. All other devices work always ok in the same network (router TL-WR841N).
It's reproducible on the latest Windows version of Home and Enterprise (Version 2004 OS build 19041.685 Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0) editions.
@Kathy_Z please schedule the entire testing of the drivers for the affected models. The problem indeed is in the drivers of Wi-Fi adapters.

So the instruction I showed above helped me to remove disconnections during working already with a network. But when I start to work e.g. after half an hour I wasn't using the PC I need to reconnect about 10 times the adapter to make it work.
So the adapter is useless. I won't recommend any TP-Link adapters.

Sorry to hear that. Does this mean the computer went into power saving mode? What if you disable the power saving or sleeping modem on it, will the connection be stable?
You may check it as this, change it to Maximum Performance:

Just to confirm again, what is the driver version of this adapter on the computer? Please verify it as this: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2722/.
