Cisco Linksys AE1000 will not work with Itunes

I have a iPad. Since I installed the latest Itunes a problem has developed. When I connect the iPad to my PC in order to sync, Itunes automatically comes up, recognizes the IPad but I lose my internet connectivity. My PC is running Windows 7 Pro and is connected via Wi-Fi using a Cisco Linksys AE1000. The trouble is somehow connected with the AE1000 driver and ITunes. If I uninstall and reinstall the driver to the AE1000 everything works fine until I try to reconnect and sync my Apple device. The AE1000 will quit working every time. I've installed the latest driver on the Wi-Fi adapter and everything is fine until I reconnect my IPad to the PC to sync. I've even reinstalled Itunes but still, my adapter disconnects when I connect my iPad.
