I tried to disable my actual antivirus (Antivir free), and i disabled every firewall. I've read tons of articles about issues between Netgear 3100 and Windows 7/8, apparently it should be a driver issue, I have only another laptop which Windows 7 too, and the result is the same, my 150N adapter is faster than the new one. Dunno what to do..

I tried every standalone driver found on the support page, but the result is the same. I tried other pc with Win7 and the adapter acts as always, 10 seconds and drop. I decided to ask for a refund and i bought anoter adapter from another manufacturer, wich works well. I never solved the problem. Thanks for the help, you can close the topic.
