Hello, thanks for your attention and hopefully you'll help me solve this issue i have.
I run Windows XP SP3, with a wireless network adapter (TP Link TL-WN722N).
To keep this short: after 10 minutes of being connected to the wireless network, the received packets stop completely even though the sending ones keep going, disconnecting and reconnecting to the network makes it work again for 10 more minutes, also, for some weird reason, watching videos from Youtube or Facebook may make it "stop working", websites won't load but the instant messages and Skype calls work fine, in this case i must reboot the computer to make the internet work again.
I used to have a wireless network adapter TL-WN712N for a couple of years, then it started having these issues, so i replaced it with a TL-WN722N after being unable to fix the issue (I tried the old one in a roommate's computer and it failed, so i guessed it was the wireless network adapter), the new one worked fine for a couple of months, but then started having the very same issues, i tried both of them in another roommate's computer and they both worked fine (the network adapter lied to me), so perhaps its something wrong with my computer.
I know that it's not the router or modem because all the other computers are working fine with them, I have also reinstalled the wireless network adapter's drivers countless times from the CD that it brought and the company's website, performed malware scans and tried to disable the power saving options (one thing i noticed is that in my device manager, there's only the advanced options tab in the network adapters, unlike my roommate's computer with the same network adapter model, which does have a power saving tab, maybe i'm just skeptical), and ran some commands like ip flush and TCP/IP resets.
Is there a way to reset my window's internet settings or something alike? I am seriously considering performing a rollback to a previous date, which should be around february.
