Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter Keeps Disconnecting
I've tried literally everything for this $80 wifi adapter that I bought. It has very fast wifi speed but it just has one problem.. it disconnects every 5 minutes. Perhaps even less than 5 minutes mos...
I figured out what the problem was. It's the cord. I just plugged it in directly to my computer and haven't had the problem in almost a week. Thanks for the reply!
Any chance that it is a setting somewhere in Windows?
Look at the adapter's properties in Windows and check that it isn't set to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
Wifi power saving
I had the same issue with the A7000 continually disconnecting every few minutes. I unclicked the power saver function in the adapter properties area and it appears to have fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!
