Netgear A6200 Keeps disconnecting and overheating
Hi, my netgear adapter keeps over heating and disconnects, or jsut disconnects at random times, I have minimum power consumption disabled as a fix ive read, it has not helped.
My computer is windows 10 and im using netgear nighthawk x4 router, with connected to 5ghz wifi network. And my room temperature is usually at 73F, I have also tried using usb 3.0 port and still disconnects.
What can I do to fix this, and if possible any idea whats causing this?

Its not your adapter. its windows 10. mine worked perfectly fine til i upgraded to win10 and either slows down transfer rates or just stops working even though the light is on to say its connected
my normal NAS transfer rate is 25M. it drops to 15 after a while. pull adapter out of the cradle and put back in - back to 25M
it seems to take a while for the issue though, i leave my pc running for days at a time. but it happens while the connection is in use so its not sleep related
it still overheats on my other computer windows 8.1
how do i check the temperature?
