Netgear A6150/AC1200 drops connection in games
Hi,
I recently purchased an A6150/AC1200 for my sons computer. The idea was that he should play Roblox on wifi etc.
The installation went fine and I had no problem connecting the USB adapter to my netgear router, however as soon as he started playing online, then connection dropped completely. I initially thought it was only in steam games, but if I start a game - alt tab, then I can´t load any websites.
In order to restore connection I had to "disconnect" from the wifi (Still showed as connected) and then reconnect.
- We are running win10 - lastest update.
- The PC has an ethernet network card, but no wifi.

You put running windows latest update. Is it a preview update or which version is it? the preview versions have created issues before.
What driver version are you running for the adapter?
What router are you using? Firmware on it?
It only crashes in games? are you using QoS on your router? Or any other bandwidth controlling services?
What speeds can you get when speedtesting the adapter?
Here's the support page for the A6150
