0x139 LIST_ENTRY Error caused by USB device

[beguiler]

I'm having a stop error the instant I remove a wifi adapter from the usb port. I remove this device because my internet connection deteriorates from time to time and reinserting the adapter used to solve the throttling and latency spikes.

My device is TL-WN722N from TP Link.

Below is a minidump file of the event.

My questions are:
1. Is there a way to diagnose or repair the wifi adapter?
2. Is there some way to solve the wifi instability and latency spikes?
3. Will replacing the adapter with a pci-e wifi network card solve the problem?

this is a driver by TamoSoft it looks like they have update here http://www.tamos.com/
I would either try the update or remove the driver.

Also, it looks like a usb driver, these are very dependent on the usb drivers provide by your motherboard vendor, and the motherboard vendor drivers depend on the BIOS version you have installed.
Generally, a first round of trying to fix usb problems, involve update of the BIOS, then the CPU chipset driver, then the USB 3.0 drivers for the motherboard, and then the USB driver for the actual device.
