Netgear A6100 Wifi Adapter suddenly get lagspikes
I've had an A6100 wifi adapter for at least a year now with no problems at all. Last week i suddenly get lagspikes at 3k+ ms. Phones and laptops at the same network is working fine, i have also trie...
I solved it! Yesterday I stumbled upon a thread completely accidentally where somebody was experiencing the same problem. Granted, this solution won't work for you unless you have a Roccat product though.
The problem is the Roccat Swarm software! Upon uninstalling it, my connection becomes completely stable, the problem was not with Netgear at all! Hopefully this can at least raise awareness of this issue, as suspecting a gaming mouse's software does not seem logical at all for networking issues...
It's worth noting that I was able to achieve a stable connection with my A6100 on Windows 10 Home using current standalone drivers (Netgear Genie not installed).
I've been having the EXACT same issue with my adapter as well, and have been unable to fix it. I've tried reinstalling with and without Netgear Genie in addition to trying out older drivers. On occasion I can get a good gaming session in but the issue persists after a few matches. I've tried googling this issue but have thus far been unable to find a working solution.
Installing the older driver fixed the issue before the Anniversary patch but does not work anymore for some reason.
