Netgear A6210 Connected but no internet access after a few hours of use
Heya all, So I recently purchased a Netgear A6210 as to have access to the 5GhZ capabilities of my wifi network. At first, I was pretty happy with the adapter, until after a few hours my internet...
Yes, with that I meant that I went into the control panel to my power settings and turned off selective suspension aswell as turning off "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" inside the device settings from a device called: 802.11ac Wireless LAN Card which I'm certain off is the adapter.
How about this in Device Manager:
- Network adapters
- {Your device}
- Properties
- Power Management
Windows is good at burying these things.
That one is device specific.
What has a LAN card got to do with your wifi device?
The A6210 is a USB adapter.
Right idea, but wrong place.
Wifi power saving
Why do you want a USB adapter if you have a Wireless LAN Card?
The Lan Card = the Adapter. It gets shown up as a Lan Card because I uninstalled Netgear genie due to unrelated issues and headaches. It is also the only device inside my network devices that is capable of using WIFI as all the others are related to virtual machines and other unrelated devices.
PS: My motherboard didn't come with a built-in Wifi Adapter.
