Howdy!
I have an Aukey AC1200 PCIe wireless adapter that I bought last April, a D-Link AC750 router that I bought "earlier" (purchased before April, but didn't actually install until then) and just got Charter (Spectrum) internet again last month.
Everything's been working fine until over the weekend; Thursday already before bed I noticed things acting up, but didn't think much of it until it continued again Friday (normally these issues work themselves out overnight). However, Friday I noticed things started being more steady and have continued thusly as well - it's sporadic, so that's part of what brings me here. Anyway, enough rambling: my desktop internet connection is very touch-and-go, sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it's failing miserably. My laptop and other devices are seemingly fine; I'm not losing the connection simultaneously necessarily; but even on the rare occasions when everything cuts out, the rest all comes right back - but my desktop stays off. Running any diagnostics is a futile effort; Windows (Oh yeah, I should probably also mention I'm running Win 8.1) either "can't detect any issues" or blames "your broadband connection" - again, despite the other devices working flawlessly, so I'm not convinced it's my router or modem (which I've restarted, and only seems to interrupt what my other devices are doing instead of solving whatever the actual issue is with my desktop). And Charter's "my account" troubleshooting area similarly says "everything looks fine" on their end as well. I can't imagine it's my neighbors (Charter throttling it) because, again, if it truly is an actual outage of any sort all my other devices are pretty oblivious to it.
I'm pretty confident in my choice, but you know that franticness where sometimes you overlook the most obvious answer right in front of you? My TL;DR question is if I'm correct (or missing anything else) in working with Aukey to replace my adapter? Things have been fine for the past 2 hours again now thus far, but the previous 2 or more were nothing but constant "no internet connection" errors. And history is showing that tomorrow will be the same thing - it'll start out fine, but then decide to conk out at some point and the cycle will begin again.
Thanks!
