Hi!
I have the same problem as darrypluto, but im on Windows 10. I tried to uninstall the driver/genie and install the standalone driver.
Run into som problems in the prossess, like my pc didn't recognize the adapter when i was told to plug it in, but i got around it and got connection again.
However it didn't help in regards to the issue when im playing video games, i keep losing connection for 1-2 seconds, then i reconnects back. This is a big issue.
It feels like package loss or something. It was working totally fine for the first 3 months after purchase, it just started 2-3 days ago.
- On device manager it says my driver versjon is: 5.1.22.0
- Windows 10
Thanks for any help.
Mate save yourself the headache, cut your losses and move on from that failed product. There is no fix. The NETGEAR staff have done absolutely nothing. I splashed out $80 on a D-LINK and it works amazingly. In comparison cheaper and more reliable.
Is this issue being worked on? Mine is now intolerably unstable (been dropping out a couple of times per hour today) and if no fix is forthcoming or in the works then i'd rather just cut my losses and get my money back and buy something that actually works reliably.
