Netgear A7000 Keeps disconnecting over and over again

I am sick and tired of this as before all of this, it was working just fine.

Now, every 20-30 seconds or so, it will disconnect for five seconds until it will reconnect right after.

I have changed my D.N.S settings, restarted my computer, put off power management, etc.

Maybe if you guys could tell me what settings I should have for my adapter [AKA under the advanced tab where Adapitvity/AMfactor are] that could possibly fix everything.

I have two connects aka Fios 5g and Fios [without anything after it aka it's the 2.4 g one]

    Have you tried it in a different pc/laptop? Or usb port?

    The reason could be the UEFI/BIOS itself. I would recommend Resetting the BIOS setting to Default settings and then reconfiguring it properly. If you are comfortable doing so then give it a try. 

    Is your computer a desktop or a laptop?

     

    Another reason for disconnection could be the power from the USB port. If the WiFi adapter is connected to an external USB hub and devices like hard disks are also connected to the same USB hub, then it can cause power loss to the USB WiFi adapter.
