While many questions about routers are generic and can't be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

But since this is a wireless adapter, You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

      That link is unhelpful as it provides Windows 7 screenshots, and as other users have stated when linked this thread, these options arent available in windows 10? Do i have to downgrade to fix this **bleep**ty "ancient USB wifi gubbin" (yes i looked through EVERY SUPPORT POST AND TRIED TO FIX THIS GOD AWFUL PRODUCT) as you call it? 

      Chances are I will end up switching to TP Links pcie option... I am tired of dealing with NetGear, and this very lacking device. My old 20 dollar TP-Link one worked more consistently than this junk. I thought NetGear was prestigious and I was moving up, however my grandfather wasted his money.


      NetGear, offer better support options... and at the very least, send drivers out to fix your old "gubbin"

        I have no idea what "when linked this thread" means.

        As an experienced Windows user you should be able to find the equivalent settings for power management on USB devices.

        Apologies if this doesn't fit into your version of Windows. I'm on Windows 11.

         

        My adapter is a different brand, but the approach is the same.
