A6210 Adapter Disconnect Issues Windows 10

For the past few months I've been using the Netgear A6210 adapter and have had the ongoing problem of it disconnecting from devices.

I first purchased the adapter back in September for my laptop (running Windows 10) so I could take advantage of my home's 5ghz network. After persistent disconnect issues I went through the struggle of trying numerous drivers (including the one here), uninstalling/reinstalling the Netgear Genie software, and changing my laptops power settings until I was finally able to get it to stop.

I recently built a PC and am now having the same disconnect issue. I feel like I have tried everthing again at this point, but am open to suggestions for fixing the problem. Maybe I'm missing something?

The adapter works great when it decides it wants to though. If it weren't for these driver/disconnect issues I would be totally satisfied.

    Hi searward,

     

    Have you tried connecting it to the laptop again and check if the same problem happens?

     

    When installing in your PC, disable antivirus and firewall and also use the standalone driver instead of the driver with Genie.
