The concern may actually be connected to the network enviroment. Are you using this on a desktop or a laptop?  If you are using it with a desktop is it in an encolsure?  Is the enclosure open back or closed back?  How far from the router are you?  How many neighbor networks does the adapter see?  What channel are you using for your wifi band?

Thank you for response but it is definitely not a network environment. I use it on my personal desktop with USB extension so adapter is not hidden. Router is in living room, about 10 feet away. I'm also using wifi on my work laptop on the same desk at the same time with zero connection issues.

There are about 8 other networks showing up in the area but again - neither my laptop nor my phone using the same router has any problems whatsoever.

@Mac87 

You are correct in that instance network enviroment should not be a problem.  There is a chance though that interference from the laptop could be being created as the two devices are in close proximity.  espcially if they are operating on the same wireless band.  Though its a small chance at this the possiblity of EMI is still there.  One thing we can have you try is install the adapter on your laptop and see if you are experaincing the same issue.  If so this would point to a possible issue with the adapter.

Thanks, I'll give it a try for a whole day tomorrow and see if I have any issues.
