Hey everyone! I am having a very unique issue and I wanted to see what you guys had to offer.
First, the relevant system parts:
Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming5
CPU: i7 6700K
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
WiFi Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCIe Adapter
Router: Apple Airport Extreme
Modem: Motorola ARRIS SURFboard
Drivers: Updated completely
The Issue:
So over christmas I built my family a PC for the living room to replace their PS3. Along with that purchase, I bought myself a 6700k, new MOBO (the Gaming5) and new RAM. The purchases went well, and the installation was easy as ever. I took my WDN4800 out of the old MOBO, installed it into the new one, and turned the PC on. The adapter worked without drivers but I installed them anyway and everything was working. Now, here is where things get weird.
About 10 minutes in, I disconnect from teamspeak, discord, and nothing loads. My wifi icon on the task bar says everything is OK and nothing is wrong. It shows full bars of signal and acts like everything is well and good. 20 seconds later and everything starts working. Another 10 minutes, same thing. It is doing this on both the 2GHz AND the 5GHz band. It isn't consistent all the time, but its usually within 10 minutes of each other. I have tried the following:
Install all MSI motherboard drivers
Re-seat the WiFi card into BOTh PCI slots.
Re-download the drivers and re-install
Restart the PC
Reset ALL router settings
Change the power settings for the card
Keep in mind, I am using the SAME drivers as I did before the new board, and the card was 100% working before the change.
Any advice? Thanks so much!
