TL-WN781ND - Net drop issues
Region : UnitedKingdom

Hello.
I had a custom PC built for me and for almost a year now it has been performing adequately with its installed 150Mbps Wireless N PCI Express Adapter.
I have been gaming, streaming, downloading and hosting with it on various routers from the home router to university accommodation.
However I am starting to run into problems, as on odd occasions I seem to drop internet connection randomly.
It will at first slow down, perhaps stop, then recover after a brief period to let me continue what I was doing. Sometimes it'll disconnect from the access point completely.
This seems to happen at anytime, but will occur more often when I begin to stress it. For example if I were to start playing games online I would start to lag or lose connection entirely. If I were to run a download and a video at the same time, the video would pause, the page would stop loading, and you would see the download speed dropping from mb/s to kb/s almost until it hit 0.

Now, I didn't have these problems at home, or in the accommodation, but only when I moved into my new flat this year.
At first I suspected it was their routers, and they even have technicians looking at it, but lately my computer has been completely dropping connection to the point where I cannot reconnect.
The signal is still there. Devices like the Ipod can still browse the internet, but my wireless card can't seem to find them.
One or two rare times it suddenly was disabled/unavailable/wouldn't connect, even when I had turned off the option to let the computer disable it for power management.
I had to restart in order for it to reconnect to give me internet again!
Anyone else have similar problems? / Have ideas to solutions if it is really me?
I'm looking into buying one of those 'newer' cards, probably off amazon, but I've tried reinstalling it from the device menu and getting new drivers off the page: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WN781ND
My computer is Win7 x64
Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
