TP-Link TL-WN851N internet sharing disconnects/reconnects

[WCopeland]

This problem just started happening out of the blue. My wireless card, a TP-Link TL-WN851N, which was working just fine a few days ago is having all sorts of problems now. Any time a device attempts to connect to it while it is sharing my ethernet connection, such as my iPad per se, the signal drops and reconnects very quickly over and over again essentially rendering the signal unusable.

 

My specs are exactly that of the Lifehacker guide (http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build-a-hackintosh-with-snow-leopard-start-to-finish#hardware) ... the only exception is I'm using onboard ethernet, which works perfect, and instead using my wireless card where the PCI ethernet would normally go.

 

Any suggestions?

I've got the TP-Link TL WN951N which is very similar to your card and is also meant to work out of the box with OS X. It does this but whenever I visit a website which uses Adobe Flash player it disconnects from the network and refuses to find any more networks until a full reboot.
