Hi Kevin, thank you for your reply.

I'm using windows 10 education 64 bit. Wifi strength is 5/5 bars on a max of 2 meter distance with a thin wooden floor inbetween (300 mbps shown on adapter properties).

The connection only drops under high load like downloading or while multitasking. For instance, I was watching netflix just now and at the beginning of every episode (highest internet usage in the process) my internet vanishes. I must say, at the same time I was browsing something for my work/study. Sometimes I'm also doing a little research and open a few links in new tabs of my browser simultaneously, this also causes disconnection.

When I disconnect it does show I'm connected to the router but it says ''no internet'' after about ten seconds of having my browser tell me I'm disconnected from the internet. 

When I restart, I manually click ''disconnect'' and ''connect'' on my router at the ''available networks'' on the right bottom corner of my screen and it is back. However, when I'm simply browsing websites slowly and ''singletask'' or do stuff other than youtube and other internet consuming apps/sites it stays stable.

I tried alot of different solutions last week, including;

1. Installing windows updates
2. Installing the latest TP-link driver (from CD as well as download link provided by the TP-Link support team)
3. Installing/updating my PC hardware drivers 
4. Trying on different PC's (at my work office)
5. Different USB ports

For help I contacted the TP-Link support team in Holland but they gave up and advised me to return the product to the store I bought it from.

I also had my bestfriend and experienced IT guy take a look but he couldn't solve my problem either.

As it's not a too expensive product, I'm not going to return and instead buy a different USB adapter if I don't get this one to work soon.  

@Mauritz Hello, i have the same problem on archer t3u.

Did you resolved your problem? And how?

Hi,

I've had some people take a look at it, including experienced IT/Tech guys, without a positive result.

I had entered a ticket but the only solution according to the support team was to send it back to where I bought it from. 

I replied to them that that would be a waste since it's a relatively cheap product. Sending it back and retrieving would cost me more money worth of time than buying a new adapter, in addition to the fact that I can't miss a day without internet due to my work and study at home. 

Then they repeated their previous answer and I just threw it away and bought a different one.

I'm sorry I can't help you!

@Mauritz sorry to hear that. Do you have windows 10 home too? I'm trying to use another windows version... hope this works.

@Hayzech 

Hi Hayzech, I've used it on windows 10 pro and windows 10 education as far as I know.

I've tried it on different pcs as well.

I hope you find a solution and if you do, please share it to help other people! 

Im in the same situation.

Practical example, downloading from blizzard COD modern warfare at high speed > 10MB/s just takes a couple minutes and the connection drops. I have the JPN v3 version (I live in Jpn).

@L4nz Today i realized that the archer adapter is overheating in my computer. After 5 minutes at 12mb/s it's stop working. Maybe the overheat is the issue on archers adapters?

Can be, however, I limit my router with qos to be 75mbps and after downloading 12gb it disconnected. This was over a lapse of 2 hours, then the connection was stable for 7 hours (doing nothing). So this means that when the device is with load and/or temperature it fails. This is really a complicated device.

@L4nz @Mauritz Hello

Did you guys buy a new one adapter? Which one?
