    Anyone having trouble with Netgear Wireless AC6200 dropping out intermittently after upgrading to Windows 10, here is a possible solution:
     
    1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Change Plan Settings\Change Advanced Power Settings;
     
    2. Expand Wireless Adaptor Settings\Power Saving Mode and make sure it is set to "Maximum Performance";
     
    3. Expand USB Settings\USB Selective Suspend Settings and change Setting to "Disabled".
     
    This worked for me and YMMV, but I hope this helps avoid the weeks of frustration I've just gone through..

Hi All,

 

I would like to verify is disconnection happens on 2.4GHz or 5Ghz or is it on both bands.

It does the same thing on both bands, but i have upgraded to the AC1200 USB 3.0 WIFI Adapter and the issues have ceased and have not appeared since
