Hi guys,
I moved and now unfortunately my desktop is a little too out of the way for ethernet, so I've been using this 7 year old (but barely used) TP-Link TL-WN722N USB WiFi adapter for about a month now. It's been working fine until yesterday, when it suddenly dropped connection (still connected to WiFi, just no internet access). It usually regains internet after a disconnect/reconnect, unplug/replug, or simply by waiting, but that lasts for usually less than a minute until it slows down and drops again.
Here's the strange part though. I can connect it to my phone's mobile hotspot and it works fine, even when it drops from my house WiFi. But the house WiFi also works fine on all my other devices in the same location as my desktop, at the same time it's dropping from my desktop. So I can't figure out if it's the adapter or if it's my WiFi. I haven't had any issues with it up until yesterday, so it can't be due to interference. I've also had no problems with my house WiFi on any of my other devices since yesterday so I don't think it's that either. Do you think this adapter is on its way out?
Thanks!
