So I am stuck with the windows 10 issue which makes every adapter I buy disconnect from the router randomly. Usually it depends on bandwidth usage, like with nearly 20Mbps consistent usage, they disconnect in under 10 minutes. Requiring a manual plugin in/out cycle...

That's all because our retailers are still selling age old adapters with obsolete drivers and hardware. Not to mention low standard manufacturers or repackages like D-Link and TP-Link inundating the market.

I have sifted through almost all reputed and some not so reputed online stores but found no hardware which at least supported the Creator's update of W10, most didn't even support any W10 version... At this pace, it seems I will have to buy my own connection and run an Ethernet cable to my PC...

So please help me to some store which sells adapters from reputed brands like Killer or Asus or anyone else, I will figure out whether they have supported drivers or not. It can be online or in my city, ISL/RWP.

Thanks. The PC spec thing is a PG feature, the orange dot you see under "I am:" under the username is actually a view switcher with 3 views. Clicking on the 2nd dark gray dot shows the location, consoles and PC spec menu of the user.

Follow my guide & see if this helps.
Go to *Power options* & select *change plan settings*. After that select *Change advance power settings*. Now scroll through the list to *Usb settings*. There will be an option called * Usb selective suspend setting* and make sure it is disabled.
If this is already disabled, then open device manager. Select your wifi adapter & open *Properties*. In there open * power management tab*. Uncheck *Allow the computer to power off this device*
Actually the 2nd method worked for me when I was using Windows 8.1 & my wifi would just dissapear & I had to restart my pc to get it working again.

I have unchecked it but I am skeptical as I run my computer with no power management features i.e. windows is set to high performance with all features geared towards it and bios has all CPU sleep states disabled.

Though electronics are definitely very cheap on this site, it is really astonishing that such a high traffic site has such a horrendous design and user experience... As evidenced by redit posts, they really don't even bother to fix the issues...

Again thanks man, your suggestion worked wonders! Even though I went with this one which is same but with movable antenna: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33038883661.html

The experience is just out of the world! Just figured all those strange issues with multiple downloads and random slowdowns was just because of the sub standard adapters I had been using since times past... Now each connection tries to use my full bandwidth, the days of seeing measly 60-150KBps speeds when downloading multiple files from the same server are finally gone. Failures are also gone and I am a happy camper just like before when I had a Ethernet connection to the router.

Shipping was free. With numerous coupons I was able to get the card for $33.45. It took about 10 days to reach me.

Bluetooth is something useless to me as I normally share through one drive or google drive on all my devices.

It looks like yours, except for the antenna.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
