Wireless Network doesn't work properly when installing an HDD

[pelonchasva]

Hello everybody,

I have been facing problems with my wireless connection on my pc, it all started when windows decided to update (Windows 10), suddenly my connection was just bad, at first I thought it would be the update that messes up my driver, so I updated the driver, and nothing changed, so I decided to buy a better card, and then I bought the TP-LINK WDN4800 - N900, and installed it, and still the problem was there, so I formatted the drive I use for the OS (Kingston SSD 240GB) and I have an HDD for backup (Seagate Barracuda 1TB).

After formatting the drive, I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7, installed all the drivers needed and at first it started working fine but a couple of minutes later, it started to be buggy again and sometimes didn't have internet, even though my computer had a good connection.

At this point I decided to take my pc with a friend and he checked it out for the weekend, when he gave it back to me, he said that it worked great but he had to disconnect the HDD because it was having trouble when trying to setup the system.

Yesterday, I hired a new internet provider and my pc was working really fine, super fast internet and so on, but today, I decided to connect my HDD again because I had all my documents and games in there, when I connected the drive, the internet connection on my pc started to be broken like in the beginning, sometimes it is buggy, and sometimes I don't have connection at all.

This is driving me crazy, because I don't know if it is normal this kind of behavior, hope somebody has an answer for this, because it has been a really pain to struggle with this for about two weeks.

I've been thinking that if the problem is the HDD, maybe has a virus or something like that, so maybe the solution is to format that drive too, and make a copy only of the most important files to me, and check if that works.

Here is a list of my PC specs and a list of the programs I use, in case some of this has some impact in the issue:

Specs:
MOBO - ASUS M5A97 R2.0
RAM - Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB & Corsair Vengeance 8GB
SSD - Kingston 240GB
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB
CPU - AMD FX-8600 Black Edition
GPU - XFX RADEON R9-270X 2GB GDDR5
WLAN CARD - TP-LINK WDN4800-N900

Software:
OS - Windows 10 64-Bit
Visual Studio
MS Office
Android

Gaming - I have read that sometimes steam or origin can make internet connection go bad because of the app settings, but I have never faced this problem before and I've been using them for almost 4 years.
Steam
Origin

Thanks in advance!

You connected the second drive, internet had issues, does it go away soon as you disconnect it? It may be a router issue also, I just had a week or a few computer dropping connections for no reason (no change in the OS, no change in the network), and it just started working fine again on it's own.
