NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter (A7000) Stand damaged

The stand for my WiFi Adapter was damaged, and it's not prudent to place the WiFi adapter into my desktop as the angle introduces stress on the USB connector. Is there somewhere I can get a replacement stand?

    You can try searching for a replacement stand on online shopping websites such as Amazon. Alternatively, you can try contacting the manufacturer of your WiFi adapter to see if they offer replacement stands or if they can recommend a compatible stand.

    or just pickup a cheap usb extension cable and use that. I've done that before when I didn't want a USB driving sticking out of something

      I was going to make the same suggestion. There is nothing special about Netgear's extension cables.
