Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’ve been experiencing some persistent problems with my TP-Link Ethernet adapter and could use some advice.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Adapter Model: TP-Link UE300
• Operating System: Windows 11
• Issue: My Ethernet connection frequently drops, sometimes multiple times a day. I must unplug and replug the ethernet adapter to restore the connection when it does. Additionally, I’ve noticed slower internet speeds since the issue started.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

1. Driver Updates: I’ve updated the drivers to the latest version from the TP-Link website.
2. Different USB Ports: Tried plugging the adapter into various USB ports on my laptop, but the problem persists.
3. Testing on Another Device: Connected the adapter to a different computer, and the same issues occurred.
4. Cable Check: Swapped out the Ethernet cable to rule out any cable-related problems.
5. Power Management Settings: Disabled USB selective suspend in the power settings, but no improvement.

Additional Details:

• Router: I’m using a standard ISP-provided router, and other devices connected via Ethernet don’t have any issues.
• Environment: No recent changes to my network setup or hardware.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues with TP-Link Ethernet adapters?

I’m wondering if this might be a hardware fault with the adapter itself or if there’s a specific setting I might be missing. Any troubleshooting tips or recommendations for alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
