TP-Link Archer TX3000E Intermittent Wi-Fi Failure
I have been using the TP-Link Archer TX3000E for about a week, and have had regular issues with the Wi-Fi portion of the device. The Bluetooth has been working without issue. This device was installed on a newly assembled PC (AMD Ryzen 7 3600X, 32GB DDR4 Ram). After initial difficulty with apparent driver conflicts and several BSODs, I was able to get the device functioning.
This device regularly becomes disabled, with no connection and no ability to regain connection without troubleshooting the device or restarting the computer. Sometimes the a restart alone is insufficient to repair the connection. I have observed two errors regularly for this device in Device Manager, including Code 10 (This device cannot start) and Code 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it reported problems).
How often does it happen? On average, every 30-60 minutes. More frequently after the PC wakes from sleep.
How do you make it back to work? Windows troubleshooter on the Wi-Fi network adapter has demonstrated some success in resetting the adapter. Although after a few tries without a restart, this method fails. Another method that has had some success has been to find the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160 MHz device in the Device Manager and disable and then re-enable it. This method has also shown only limited succes. Since the issue seems to be pronounced with Sleep, I have also unchecked the box in the device properties under power management, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." This seemed to help but the problems have continued to appear.
What about the wireless signal strength? Very strong
How far away does it from the main router? ~10 ft
What about other wireless devices? No issues connecting to Wi-Fi from other devices that are much further from the router, including two TVs, laptops, and mobile phones.
Do they have the same issue? No.
I am also gettting lower speeds on this device when it is working than I get over the same Wi-Fi connection on my Galaxy Note 10+. See images below.
