Hey guys,
I have a custom-built desktop that runs with a TRENDnet TEW-643PI wireless card. I can't do a direct connection as the router is on the other side of the duplex. I have very little issues with latency/lag and the internet is super fast 99% of the time. But, ever so often (3-4 times a day roughly) I get a disconnect that last about 3 seconds before it reconnects. I typically notice it the most when I'm raiding or in a battleground in WoW (if that helps diagnose the issue). I recently bought a signal extending antenna for the card and consistently have 100% signal strength. My laptop, as well as my wife's laptop, never have a disconnect issue so I doubt it's the ISP.
One thing that I've looked at is the fact that I have 3 adapters listed under my "Network Adapters" under device manager: (I apologize for the noobishness of this question but I don't know what these three are)
- Intel(R) Gigabit network Connection
- Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
- Realtek 802.11n Wireless LAN (Mini-) PCI NIC
Is there a chance that they are conflicting with each other?
Let me know what other additional info I can scoop up for y'all and thanks in advance for your help.
