I know this sounds strange but please read on.

My Toshiba laptop connects up to my tplink Archer A7 wireless router which in turn is connected to the internet modem Frontier ISP.

I have other devices connected also computers, phones, iPads, Amazon Fire TV Stick, etc.  So when I start my VPN (IPvanish) the output power indicator in windows drops from 5 bars to 1 or 2 at most.  When this happens my internet connection gets Sketchy at best as you can well imagine.  VPN drops and tries to restart sometimes it does sometimes I just kill it and when I do kill it the output of the TPLINK A7 remains low.  So I run a program called Jet Clean and Glary Utilities back to back, after I do that the output power of the TPLINK A7 returns to 5 bars.

I can and have demonstrated this crazy thing to others they just shake their heads.  We cannot figure this out.  But I suspect that the same sort of thing is behind everyone's problems with their VPN's dropping service.

Can anyone else duplicate this?  Let me know okay?

Thanks

I have noticed that I do not have the problem of dropping VPN if I am using my "CABLE" connected computer.  Is that a clue?  Is it possible that the issue of throughput while using VPN on wireless connections has something to do with it?  Yes, I am reaching here but this is an annoying problem for many people it seems.
