TPLink Archer TXE70UH Driver Possessed my Windows 10 Machine

I purchased a TPLink Archer TXE70UH usb wifi adapter to replace my old netgear adapter. Due to some issues I tried installing the latest driver (5001.109) from their [website](https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-txe70uh/). This didn't change anything at first, but then somehow crashed my router, and then my PC. After that booting up with this thing plugged in crashed my PC with a DPC\_WATCHDOG\_VIOLATION error. I uninstalled the TPlink driver through the windows settings menu, and tried using my old wifi adapter, but plugging that thing in crashes my computer in the same way now! I plugged in the archer again and reinstalled the driver version that's present on the device. It no longer crashed my computer and successfully connected to my home-network... but without internet access. Also the netgear adapter still crashes my PC in the same way. I'd love to provide crash reports BUT MY PC IS ISOLATED FROM THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD.

Please help. And never, ever buy tplink products, they're cursed.

Edit: I uninstalled the netgear driver as well and now I can plug it in without crashing my computer... which probably doesn't signify any thing but whatever. Turns out that one didn't come with a driver so I'm not getting that back unless I get internet access somehow. Is it possible that the tplink driver just happened to break the netgear driver on install/uninstall?
