Just another update. Once again, I reinstalled the A7000's drivers and ticked the box to not let WIndows mess with them during updates. Reboot, command line flush.. the works. Still getting the traffic stops, though they seem to have become more frequent. Now, it's about every 5 minutes, I go through a 30-second traffic stop. Getting a new browser error, now:
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
This also happens when trying to reach the router's setup page. If I have SpeedTest running, it just halts and displays a message it's unable to connect to the server.
None of this occurs with the ThinkPad's own WiFi chip. Since the ThinkPad sits in an enclosure, speeds are slower, which was the reason I got the A7000.
I really don't know where to look to find the issue. Still plan to try things out on another laptop and/or on another network.
Thanks for any ideas.
