So, dancing with a tambourine begins if you have WIN10 installed, and the version of the adapter is V3, because there is no official support from TP-LINK for this device for this system. I had just such a case because of which serious problems arose - the Internet fell off every 5 minutes. To describe specifically my course of action in this situation, it was as follows:
1. For the first time, we simply plug the adapter into USB - WIN10 should assign its own drivers to it and the adapter starts working (that is, it is possible to connect to the network, but the network periodically disappeared). With that in mind, I moved on to step 2.
2. In the properties of the network adapter itself, the tab additionally has the WI-FI Config option - I set it to WI-FI - as far as I understand, the Internet fell off when the processor was under load - and the system allowed itself to neglect other devices. In this regard, also in the power tab, uncheck the option to allow the device to be turned off to save energy (how could you put yes by default there ?)
3. The second step led to some stability, but did not solve the problem. Then, in desperation, I just stuck in the firewood that came with the kit on a small disk and which, generally speaking, were not intended for WIN10. But the problem is that they didn’t run through Autoran - so you just need to manually go into the folder and run setup - I don’t know how they were installed, but after that the network adapter acquired its normal name and its work stabilized (pah-pah). At the same time, I read a lot of information about the fact that you need to be very careful with firewood, since endless win10 ates very often affect our device with you! (
