Plus, many friends and family have visited me and used their devices with no problem. I was confident the new PC was the cause of the problem, since I’ve had my TP-LINK Archer C7 AC1750 Wireless Router for two years and never experienced this issue using our household’s other two computers: a high-end Mac Pro and a $200 HP Stream 11. Given I live in a rural area, and use the wifi network for my phone, not only did I lose internet service when this happened, but phone service as well. Every time this happened, I would have to go to my loft, where my router is, turn the power off and on and wait for the network to come up again. This happened repeatedly and would occur anywhere between five minutes and one hour after powering up. Hope this info helps.I received my new Dell PC, powered it up, and immediately it began crashing my wifi network. That’s all there is to replacing the wireless card in the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1.
