Windows 10: Asus PCE-AC88 Wifi card stops functioning on W10 every day

Wifi just stops working, driver can't be disabled/enabled, can't use windows settings for any network related items. Just complete and utter crash requiring manual restart. Every time, each day. It's incredibly frustrating.

Asus is no help! I've tried to contact them about this issue for a month and they tell me to buy another one or that they can't help me because the product doesn't work in North America. Full BS, because it most definitely was manufactured for, marketed in and has specifications for NA frequencies and drivers, etc.

I've tried all sorts of drivers, pc has great cooling and airflow, I just don't know what else to do. It is a great card with blazing fast dl/up speeds and insane range and sensitivity. But due to these failures in windows 10 it's unusable!!!

Note: Asus hasn't updated drivers in 3 years (2018); it technically uses a 2016 driver in their latest update from Broadcom.

What else can I do fellas?!

ASUS Intros the Monstrous PCE-AC88 PCIe Wireless Adapter

First review: Reviewing ASUS PCE-AC88 - The wireless PCI-Express network card that can! | Digital Citizen

No mention of price tho. Im guessing it's ~100$/100€+ considering AC68 was ~70€

 

Updated computer now Asus PCE AC68 will not work

The additional feedback which would be required relates to hardware configuration:

a) What motherboard

b) What CPU version (perhaps including stepping)

c) What additional cards are installed

I would have expected the "Lock PCI bus" to be a no-op if the AC88 I upgraded to worked properly. Instead, "Lock PCI Bus" made my card go away as far as the system was concerned.

I will be getting back to you with all of this. I'm going to pull the PCE-AC88, put the PCE-AC66 back, reboot, and reconfigure to see what "Lock PCI Bus" does in that configuration. I'll post the results and the model designations of everything in my system
when I do that.

 

ASUS Intros the Monstrous PCE-AC88 PCIe Wireless Adapter

ASUS announced its flagship PCI-Express wireless networking adapter, the PCE-AC88. The card is the first in the market to offer dual-band 4x4 AC3100 Wi-Fi, with speeds of up to 2.1 Gbps at 5 GHz, and 1 Gbps at 2.4 GHz. It takes advantage of 4x4 NitroQAM (1024-QAM) to offer such speeds. A 3x3 adapter would serve 1.3 Gbps. The PCE-AC88 includes a set of four antennae that you can directly attach to the card (ideal for to use the card as a WLAN client), as well as an external, router-looking module for the antennae, letting you use your card (your machine) as a WLAN router, using the included software. The card features a PCI-Express 2.0 x1 bus interface. The company didn't reveal pricing or availability.
