Since upgrading from linux-image-4.17.0-1-amd64 4.17.8-1 to 
linux-image-4.17.0-2-amd64 4.17.14-1 this morning, I have given my 
TL-WN722N a workout, with one 3.0 GB upload and six 4.0 GB downloads 
with the same servers as before, all successful, with no hangs. Perhaps 
the problems I encountered were related to interference that has now 
gone away? Or have been fixed by kernel driver improvements? Anyway, my 
TL-WN722N now seems quite stable under load.

Kind regards,
