So i recently had to use a usb wifi adapter because we’re in the process of moving and i can’t use ethernet where i am. But then it started having severe disconnections and was extremely slow. Thinking that it was that adapter, i bought a new one that’s pcie and it was way faster and i didn’t have any connection issues. Now the same issue is happening again and it’s irritating me. No, nothing is overheating, and no it’s not the network itself. I fixed those issues a while back, but it’s seems to be something on my motherboard or something on that page.

Look in Resource Monitor and Task Manager.

Check both but only use one at a time.

The objective is to discover what may be slowing down the computer. Determine what resources are being used, to what extent (%), and what is using the resource.

You can also look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and perhaps even informational events that correspond with the disconnections and slow performance.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Make and model USB adapters?

Do you have two network adapters enabled?

For example: both a wired and a wireless network adapter being enabled.

Only one network adapter should be enabled.

Look in Reliability History for error codes, warnings, and even informational events that correspond with the disconnection times.

Make and model modem, router (or modem/router if combined)? The router's logs if available and enabled may provide some clue

Who has full admin rights to the router? You will need help from that person.

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt. Post the results.

i don't have the other adapter plugged in. it was a tp-link t2u archer plus, which i then swapped out for a udup 3000gs i believe is the name for it. it's my grandpa's router and he knows nothing about wifi. the router is an AT&T Arris BGW210-700. Both adapters are wireless, but the only one plugged in is the udup 3000gs
