I have recently built a new low-mid tier range PC with gaming in mind. I got everything set up with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro I went ahead and installed all of the drivers associated with my graphics card and motherboard using an old USB WiFi Adapter, a TP-Link TL-WN722N. Everything was going fine, until I tried voice chatting with a friend and tried some online games. Horrendous ping, unable to keep a stable connection on top of the voice chat getting constantly cut out.
At first I though that it was just time to grab a new adapter, so I ordered a new one from. NetDyn's AC1200 was my choice, for people were saying it has great compatibility with Windows 10 and issues surrounding the Creators Update. Now it's finally here, and I got a chance to plug it in and try it out.
After successfully installing the drivers it had come with, my problem has been worsened. The adapter is able to connect to my router, but it is unable to hold an actual connection. The little exclamation point in the yellow triangle is not there, but it is unable to reach webpages and other online services. I had even tried installing it with the utility, which is something I don't do, but even the utility does not actually open.
Is this a problem with my computer, Windows 10, or is it just bad luck with WiFi adapters? The oddest thing out of all of this is the fact I can put the NetDyn adapter in another computer, running the most up to date version of Windows 10, and Plug and Play takes over and it's able to reach the internet with no strings attached.
If it is a problem with my build, here are the specs for it.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
16.00GB Kingston Hyper X
Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3-CF
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (MSI)
2tb HDD ST2000DM006-2DM164
ASUS DRW-24F1ST c
