My old USB Wifi broke and I didn't much care for the flaky drivers so I was happy to see the recommendation for the TP-Link WDN4800. It's not working out so well for me.
To get a handle on the problems I'm having, I'm mostly pinging my router. Mostly, pings come back in 1-3 ms. Sometimes, though, it gets uneven, dropping some pings and others come in late. For example:
Apologies for the format, it's just my hacky bash to log this stuff. Any line with nothing after the comma is a dropped packet. This can go on for several minutes at a time.
Then, sometimes it stops working entirely. It still says it's connected in my network prefpane but I can't ping anything. If I turn Wifi off and back on again in the menu bar it starts working again immediately. But it seems like it will never fix itself if I leave it alone.
I use other devices with the network no problem. Does anyone have any ideas about what is wrong here? Thanks.
