Archer TX20UH adapter cuts out every 5 minutes
Hello,
I am having issues with my TX20UH USB adapter experiencing ping spikes. They almost always last 2-3 seconds before returning to normal. They often occur in 5 minute intervals, but not always. Sometimes I will see spikes at 4:01pm, 4:06, 4:11, 4:36, 4:56, etc. It doesnt always follow this pattern but generally does does.
I have tried:
-Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers several times
-Using an older driver
-Restarting modem a dozen times
-Reinstalling windows
-Every USB port
-Adjusting the settings through device manager from USB 2.0 to 3.0 and vice versa(depending on what USB port I am attempting)
-Disabling USB SF Mode
-Disabling SupportFT 11kv
-Disabling 5g
-Disabling 2.4g
-Disabling Roaming Sensitivity
-Disabling Adaptivity
-Reinstalling chipset drivers
At this point I am pulling my hair out and running out of ideas outside of just buying a different adapter, however if I have the same issues with that I might just lose it.
Hi Marvin,
Thanks for the response. I've tried most of the things in the troubleshoot without success. The issue occurs when connected with 5g, I cannot to my router when using 2.4g. I am not sure if the router doesn't support it, and I could try troubleshooting this but if the adapter will only work in 2.4g I'll need to replace it either way so it's not really a solution.
One thing I discovered is that by disabling WLAN autoconfig by using the command: netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-Fi" - instead of disconnecting every 5 minutes, it disconnects every ~61 minutes. Below is a log of me pinging google, as you can see the disconnects occur at 2:02, 3:03, 4:04, etc. There's a couple others in there but those arent typical and that may have been me changing an adapter setting or something, I dont remember. I've just started a log pinging direct to my router rather than google, but I am fairly confident the results will be the same. Aside from those hourly spikes the ping is consistently between 2 and 20.
It seems that the 5 minute disconnects were caused by the adapter checking for other networks(even though it shouldnt be), but I cant figure out what would cause it to do this every 60 minutes with autoconfig disabled.
Either way that is also not a great solution as it means every time I boot up I need to enable autoconfig, connect to the network, then disable it again through command prompt which is kind of a hassle.
