New USB wifi dongle keeps disconnecting

[hinotai]

I bought a new desktop and it came with 2 USB wifi dongles. To be honest, I’m not sure how they work exactly but I plugged one into the PC and one into the router. It does connect but disconnects when I try to download games from steam.

It does show my network listed and that it’s trying to connect but it doesn’t connect at all.

I’ve troubleshoot the network multiple times and it fixes it but goes off again. It says

“A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken” and “problem with wireless adapter or access point”

But the router works and everything else connects to it just fine without issue, and for the problem, it just says it fixed it by resetting the adapter.

I’ve looked at the device manager and theres not updates for the driver, the roll back device isn’t available and I’ve turned off “allow computer to turn off device to save power”

It is a Lenovo brand and running on Windows 10 Pro and there’s no system updates available, and the wifi adapter is Realtek RTL8188FTV

does your router have wifi?
What is the make and model of your router

[Bruce]

what is the make/model of these 2 USB wireless dongles?
is the Realtek adapter you mentioned one of these USB dongles?

plugging one into the PC and the other into the router doesn’t sound right.

plugging one into the PC and the other into the router doesn’t sound right.

Exactly
