Heres my specs: wifi adapter: edimax ew-7612uan v2. Bluetooth adapter: iogear gbu521. OS: Latest patch windows 10. router : D-LINK DSL 6850-U.
If there is any other information left behind please inform me and i will respond asap

This sounds like some sort of hardware conflict or failure. That is a guess and I am no expert on this hardware, but the problem falls into my personal bucket of replace the hardware rather than spend a great deal of time doing a debug. Your choice of course depends on your desire to benefit from the educational aspect of debugging and budget considerations.


Depending on the configuration of the computer. Try using the rear USB for one and the front or top USB jacks for the other adapter because sometimes these are on different internal hardware.

Buy a new adapter from a different manufacturer. Stick with a well known brand and install the manufacturer's driver.

Buy a PCIE USB card to isolate the adapters. Or a PCIE wifi...

Perhaps you can narrow the problem down to some specific service or process.

Use the Event Viewer logs to take a look at any log entries created just before or at the time of the interference/wifi crashes.

The logs can be extensive so you will need to scan through the various folders. Look for any series of warnings and errors. Easy to see. If you fnd some then you can right click any given entry for more details including error/warning codes and messages. Then Google accordingly.

No need to immediately react to any one error. Look for a consensus of some sort within the possible errors and avoid any websites that immediately offer to download some fix.

There may be some other factors involved with respect to the drivers involved versus just some corruption occuring.

Buy a PCIE USB card to isolate the adapters. Or a PCIE wifi card to keep the wifi off the USB all together.

Buy from a local store with a customer friendly return policy in case none of this actually helps.
