AW17r4 Killer 1435 Developed Allergy to Wifi Network (Driver crash on connecting)

Title, for the past few days my AW17 has been losing connection to the TPlink archer C7 router at my house and after the latest drop has been unable to reconnect without the driver crashing. Unfortunately, doing all the normal steps of airing out the windsocks and flushing DNS drain cleaner haven't worked. Trying to uninstall the device to install drivers just results in windows autoinstalling the drivers, and installing new ones over those still doesn't help. Last time this happened the only solution was to sell the laptop and get a new one as changing wifi cards just made things exponentially worse, are there any other options here?.

 

What Wi-Fi card do you have?

EDIT: Sorry, missed that in the title.

There is a known issue between Killer cards and TP-Link Archer C7 that was fixed with a firmware update.

See this thread and update to the latest firmware.

 

Last time this happened it was an intel 7260 in an MSI GT80, also on win10

 

The router isnt what's crashing. Simmilar issue was had with a Comshaft brand Surfboard knockoff previously, where the laptop and only that one laptop developed an allergic reaction.

 

OK but this time it's a Killer 1435 card.
If so it was fixed in a second to last firmware update for TP-Link Archer C7 v2 ( I assume that is the version you have - check the sticker on the bottom of the router before you update firmware though)

EDIT: We have to stop posting at the same time

 

Attempting the firmware upgrade on the router, my other computers started reacting similarly all of a sudden.

 

Make sure you update via Ethernet cable not via Wi-Fi (sorry if this is obvious but it's important)

 

Firmware update seems to have gotten it for now, thank you for the help.

Also does it even allow you to attempt it via wifi? Thought the cable was kinda needed anyways for such
