Hi,

So I have been trying to tackle around my network issue last night and I pinned it down to my WiFi adapter card, the PCE-AC68.
I just moved out and wanted to try Steam Home Streaming again, which I haven't either since I upgraded to Windows 10. But I have an odd problem which makes the experience horrible. The connection between the two computers freezes for about 400ms every 10 seconds. And I don't mean 9 nor 11, but very precisely 10 seconds.
After countless tests it appears this comes from my desktop WiFi adapter (PCE-ACE68) no matter which router I connect it on, WiFi type, frequency band, bandwidth or channel.
I tried the drivers 2.0.8.8 and 2.1.1.5, enabling and disabling every feature (TurboQAM and such), I updated all my computer drivers and even my BIOS (I have a MSI H170 Gaming M3) but nothing does the trick. A cable connection works perfectly though.

At that point, I am probably going to try to format my computer but I wanted to check if anyone has a clue what else could I try before that.

Thanks!
 
the asus pce-ac68 works fine here and under windows 10 has actually improved throughput

what i had to do however is uninstall the asus drivers after i installed win 10 and then restarted comp and re install the latest asus drivers
 
Ok, I tried something else, closing one application at a time and it appears my ownCloud client was making these hiccups.
I don't know why it did not happen with a wired connection but now my WiFi is working perfectly so I won't complain anymore.
Sorry ASUS & Microsoft for blaming you :x
 
wath i did was upgrade my Win8.1 to 10 after that i made a clean windows 10 installation
