Using Windows 10 with a TPlink wireless N pcie adapter and a HUAWEI HG659 router

randomly, with know obvious pattern I can see my wireless card will disconnect from the wireless and the only way to get it back is to restart my wireless adapter.

I've done the following already:

-turned off power saving for the adapter
-uninstalled and reinstalled it through device manager
-manually assigned the Ip an DNS
-checked that no other devices are getting kicked
-ensured all windows updates are install
-gone through doing a netsh winsock reset

as a bonus odd thing I noticed that the adapter only seems to be able to be set to 802.11g/b in it's advanced configuration but it is most definitely a 802.11N capable adapter.

any help would be hugely appreciated as this is caused me so much grief already.
