The Context

After successfully assembling my PC, I eagerly plugged in my TP-Link USB adapter to connect to the internet. While everything initially seemed to work well, I soon faced significant connectivity issues. Whenever I connect my VR headset and its accompanying sensors via USB, the internet connection suffers a noticeable drop, leading to frustrating interruptions. It’s not just the VR gear; my keyboard and mouse are also plugged into the mix.
