Losing connectivity, need to frequently reset network adapter.
Hi.
I had this problem for a while and thought it was due to the network adapter, got a different one (USB external wifi adapter) and problem persists.
Adobe flash player(youtube, ted talks etc) is notorious for causing this. I would try to watch a video and not that it is very slow to open, it buffers about 10sec and then stops, I usually loose all connectivity at this point and sometimes it will recover but usually I need to either switch or reset network adapter, then its very fast till it happens again.
I also should mention that I tried updating that flash player multiple times but it always prompts me before a content loads due to it being outdated... there is never error during update it states it is updated, so unless adobe releases updates every few hours there is something f%^&y going on
specs:
64bit Win 7 SP1
i7 3770k
16gb ram
gtx780
intel z77 by asrock
ssd drive
adapters:
1- Qualcomm Atheros AR9285
2- Realteck RTL8187 USB 2.0 (802.11b/g 54Mbps)
I tried using alternative browser (i use FF) but it is even slower, more DCs. I would not like to use Chrome however and i do not have it installed.
any help is greatly appreciated as I am getting really frustrated with this.
