Model: Archer T9UH

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

I'm at my wits end with this thing.

I've tried every driver under the sun, including the unofficial one, which seems to work the best so far: https://sites.google.com/site/bangaroovh/searchindex/tplinkdriver

Through the course of trying to troubleshoot this, I've updated my AC router firmware, upgraded my router to an AX router and updated its firmware, and updated my Windows drivers as well as my motherboard (B450 Tomahawk Max) drivers. Nothing has helped.

Two problems:

Computer freezes when starting downloads. It's especially noticeable when downloading from Google Drive, as the download always fails and I have to click "Resume" on Chrome to download a file.
Massive packet loss spikes during work calls. Accessing the Windows file system during a Teams, WebEx, or Zoom call causes the connection to drop for around 5-10 seconds. I have replicated this problem over and over again.

Also, "Bluetooth" is misspelled in your tag suggestions.

@ei8htzer0,

A few things, you may try to use the official chipset driver from Realtek. I only have the link right now to a now-outdated driver, but a new chipset driver may help solve your issue. I will poke around and see if I can find it for you. I would also change the DNS server just in case there are routing issues down the line that are causing the drop in packets.

I would not rule out, however, that there may be an incompatibility or issue with your system, as I do not really see why accessing things like the local file explorer would cause issues with your network; unless it is the process of identifying networked devices that is causing the problem You may try preventing your PC from detecting networked drives and devices to see if the problem persists. I would make sure that everything is running fine on your disk, as it seems to be happening when connected to the network, AND when accessing the storage/file systems of your PC
