Ensure you have the latest drivers for the adapter by downloading them from the NETGEAR support page. Also, make sure the adapter is connected to a USB 3.0 port for optimal performance, as USB 2.0 can bottleneck speeds. Additionally, disabling power-saving options in the device properties and adjusting wireless modes in the advanced settings might help resolve the issue. If none of these steps work, performing a network reset or rolling back the driver may help restore performance.
