Normally my internet connection has been steady, it doesn't drop etc however recently it has been dropping very frequently normally for only 10-20 seconds (which for online gaming is a huge issue.) It only drops on one device which is my desktop, it is a wireless connection, all other devices are unaffected. Initially I thought it was a problem with the desktop but having connected it to other networks there has been no problem. The only real difference I can see between my desktop and all other wireless devices in the house (phones,tablets,laptops etc.) is that I have a dual band WiFi dongle, so sometimes it connects to the 2.4ghz and other times the 5ghz.
When I do connect it to other routers they are all 2.4ghz only, which is leading me to believe the problem is to do with the dual band frequencies? Is this even a known problem or is it something else that I am failing to see?
I have the virgin super hub 2 router and am using a TP-LINK Archer T4U AC1200 Dual Band Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter.
Any help will be appreciated.
