A6100 keeps losing connection A LOT

its beyond the return to the store date.

its barely 3 months old.

 

it started doing this random drop sh!t

mid last month, i just hoped it was our

comcast.. considering the company.

 

Unfortunately, not only does it drop me

but it doesnt seem to want to install

software... unless it does that everytime

i download/update the netgear genie?

But i doubt that with how buggy this stupid

thing is.

 

Not only does it drop me ALMOST daily

AT LEAST 2x a day (max 4 thus far) and

stay out between 2mins to 8 hours... while

everyone connected by cable can access

the net without issue, it also likes to see other

nearby wifis but obv since theyre not mine

i cant connect (no pwd etc) so.. what gives?

 

is there something im doing wrong or is this

really a POS wifi adapter?

    Hi Anailaigh,

     

    If you uninstall the driver, do you get any error message? If yes, what is the error message.

      no, havent ever received any error message outside of the one where it cant
      find the internet connection which isnt tech a error that you are looking
      for.

        Hi Anailaigh,

         

        Do you have other wireless devices that you can check to verify the wireless of the router is stable?
