Hi,

I'm unable to use the Archer T4U to play online games. Upon playing I experience major latency, and loss of connection after a few minutes of playing. I have connected the device to a USB 3.0 port. I have an onboard Wifi card, and have no issues with connectivity loss or latency with this device. I have also tried with an ethernet cable, and here there are no issues as well. The reason I purchased Archer T4U was because of it's speed and 5.0 GHZ capability. In downloading and streaming the device works great and I get the full 100 mbit capacity of my network. The only issue is within online gaming. I have searched the web and it appears there are a lot of people with the Archer T4U device who experiences the exact same issue as me. Here are some examples:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/13203360454


The issue is the same across both World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 (which are the two one's I've tried).
I've got Windows 7 64-bit, and I've tried updating BIOS, Chipset, and I've of course installed the latest drivers.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try chipmaker's driver? Contact TP-LINK support and ask for it to try.

Same Here...

I'm experiencing the same issue. I have opened a support request with TP-LINK and I will update this thread when/if I get an answer.

I did some troubleshooting by snooping the network traffic with wireshark and found that it seems to be isolated to UDP streams (watching videos as well as playing video games). It is also isolated to the 5GHz network; if I use the 2.4GHz network everything works fine.
