Hello, I've been using a TL-WN822N V5 usb wifi adapter (costs 15$ here) for a year, at first it worked well, it would drop connection at times but it was tolerable.
After booting up the pc the adapter wouldn't be recognized at all, you'd have to unplug it and plug it for the wifi networks to appear but nothing too annoying.
Yesterday, upon booting my pc, the internet connection started to drop 2-3 seconds after being connected to the wifi, even though the adapter was still blinking, so I kept trying to connect to the wifi multiple times after that without touching the adapter and after the 5th or so disconnect I got a BSOD. I waited for the BSOD to complete and after restarting the pc I got a USB device not recognized notification.
Now I'm considering buying ASUS AX1800 PCIe WiFi Adapter as I read that PCIe adapters are more stable than usb ones.
Do you think that crappy wifi usb adapters can cause bsods or could it be something else?
