A6210 disconnecting everytime I try to game or upload or download

So this has been going on for months, Everytime I put a small bit of pressure on the netgear ac6210 it disconnects and forget about trying to use my 5G as it just connects for 4-5 seconds and disconnects again.

 

I need my PC for work, I'm a software engineer and I need to use my PC daily, This product is worse than the chinese one it replaced!

If I try to open a game it disconnects as soon as the game loads I can't use steam chat, discord or facebook call.

I've tried all the different drivers and nothing has worked, I've even tried the meditek drivers to see if that would work, I've tried changing it to 5G only in device manager I've tried both and I've tried 2.4Ghz only. 

 

Someone please help me!

    If this is physical pressure – hard to tell from your description  –  it could be a design problem with your unnamed PC.

     

    Is the A6210 plugged into the USB port? Tried a different USB port? How about a short extension cable?

    Different shape and size?

     

    If you are talking about something else, I would look for updated USB drivers from whoever made your PC. These will not show up in Windows updates.

     

    I assume that you have already looked for help from the PC maker. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango.
