5GHz network disconnects randomly, and after it does I cant join back on the 5GHz for some time.

Using the latest win10 stable build and latest driver, with power management settings set to off, I still get these disonnects. I tried everything, reinstall whole PC, change router and other stuff and nothing helped. I think that the problem is on the driver side. Sometimes even when I reinstall the driver I cant get the 5GHz network working until it magically appears again in the wifi list. Heat is not responsible also since my ambient temp is around 20-22 degrees celsius.

      Hi PrOnTeZc

       

      Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

       

      What is the current 5GHz channel set? Please try changing the 5GHz channel.

        I already switched my channel and I tried 2 different routers in 2 different houses. I reinstalled my operating system and drivers too. Also I tried switching the usb between 2.0 and 3.0. nothing helps with the occasional crashes of 5 GHz network.
