Wifi adapter causing bsods

[mockedarche]

i've been having this issue for the past few weeks and I can't seem to fix it. I'm unsure as to why it occurs. I have uninstalled the drivers and used the plug and play and I have installed the drivers with both the gui and just driver. All things still lead bsod. Whenever I download games or use a high amount of bandwidth it can happen and I can't really think of anything else to do. This is the cardhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JNA337K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Heres a screen shot from who crashed telling me it was the wifi driver

 

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try another card. They aren't terribly expensive. What sucks is that most of those wifi cards (at least the tp link ones that I'm accustomed to) are plug and play, practically no drivers or anything to install. Just try to get a new one. No need fighting with a ~$30 card.

I guess you're probably right just insane I spend 60 bucks and already support is botched. Bought a wifi 6 card with blue tooth so atleast it'll be an upgrade.

IM STILL OPEN TO ASSISTANCE if I can fix it ill just cancel the order.

Looking at the reviews on this thing and it does seem to be a trend where Windows 10 doesn't play well with this card. Before today, I didn't even know Asus made a wifi adapter card, so that could be an indicator.

Actually, one guy is saying you should download the Windows 8.1 drivers even if you have Windows 10. 

"....However I notice some people having trouble with Windows 10. The issue I've noticed with this is actually Windows' fault. By default the power settings for Wifi Cards, for some dumb reason, have "turn this off to save power" function ticked as on.
So, go to Device Manager, find "Broadcom" right click and choose properties... power management and UN-TICK the box. Otherwise, you'll be downloading a game on steam for example, it'll get 1GB of it, then drop connection"

 

When you download the drivers for this wifi adaptor from the Asus website, do not download the windows 10 drivers. Download the windows 8.1 drivers (yes, even if you have windows 10). When installing the drivers, do not install the utility app, install just the drivers (you don’t needn’t the utility app anyways). This was the only way this wifi card would work for me, but now that I’ve got it working it works great.

I appreciate your help but I downloaded the windows 8.1 version and the windows 10 and the checksum is exactly the same. After installing the windows 8.1 version the issue still occurs. Once again thank you again for helping me! The new card comes tuesday until this ill just play already downloaded games.
