A6210 Disconnects/Freezes with 40-50% Network usage
I have just returned home from a 6 month stay overseas. After turning my PC back on and letting windows do it's forced updates, I am now having an issue where the Network will drop and reconnect itse...
try this.
Open your services menu
Find NetgearSwitchUSB or RunSwUSB
Right click and click Stop
Right click and select Properties
Under Startup Type select Disabled
This service won't be on next time you start your computer
Ok, I have switched it to disabled, what purpose might this serve?
sometimes you see it get stuck or 2 services running at the same time. thats when you see that spike in usage.
did you install the stand-alone driver or the utliity?
I've also seen some have better luck with the stand alone driver.
Just did a reboot and started a game download to test it. The Network usage is still 40-50%, and i'm still struggling to load certain things. There are now some times where it will drop below 35% and things will seem to load in that window, but above that isn't much difference. I was able to open a browser, but going to google for example was a slow load, and youtube just won't load at all. I was also able to get a web game to launch so it has gotten better, just not completely fixed.
The game download hasn't been going long enough to see if the internet will drop, i'll have to update this if/as it happens. I downloaded the Utility, should I try installing the stand alone anyways or is it too late?I've been getting something quite similar for a few months now.
My Wifi via A6210 on my Windows 10 PC works quite happily until any other device in the house starts doing anything with raised network activity... XBox, Laptop, Phone.... then the A6210 loses connection until the other device is turned off.
I actually own 2 x A6210s as I used to use one on another PC, so I've tried both and they both do it. So its definitely the A6210 causing it.
