I have no idea what "when linked this thread" means.

That link is unhelpful as it provides Windows 7 screenshots
As an experienced Windows user you should be able to find the equivalent settings for power management on USB devices.
Wifi adapters
Apologies if this doesn't fit into your version of Windows. I'm on Windows 11.
My adapter is a different brand, but the approach is the same.
The thread constantly linked is the one you referenced. Thats what I meant by that.
As an experienced Windows user, you should know that when legacy features are swapped for these new ones, they don't always function the exact same, although providing a similar service.
I find it comical you tried to pull the "As an experienced Windows user" card... You act like I didnt specify that I have tried all the power settings fixes, driver reinstalls galore, changing usb ports, making sure its on 3.0 not auto, stopping the NetgearUSBSw service and preventing it from starting, restarting my pc again, changing the USB port settings in device manager, changing them back, unplugging the "gubbin" and waving it around like a maniac to maybe cool down the internal components (cause what else could be wrong?).
I have ordered a TP-Link PCIE option, which by reviews looks much more reliable, and I doubt the customer service will try to get me to buy a monthly service for a singular month just to tell me the product is old and faulty.

I needed something for beta testing a router with WiFi 6E. I opted for a WavLink WiFi 6 AX3000 PCI-E Adapter. It also does Bluetooth.
The TP-Link TX3000E supports Wifi 6 and Bluetooth, I decided against the 6E version because im not sure of the compatibility with my mobo, and I don't wanna upgrade to Windows 11. I like my hashed out Win10.
I recently, like the null skull I am, purchased a NETGEAR Nighthawk AX3000 (RAX39 or something) on FB marketplace AFTER my whole debacle with my adapter. I shouldve known I would have yet another sour experience. The sucker was a pain in the ass to setup, but when I set it up correctly, one of my devices got a whopping 1 mbps connection on the 2.4ghz band, whereas before with the crappy Spectrum-issued router it got usable speeds. Truly truly disappointed in this brand and I am very curious how they havent plummeted off all the shelves as every experience I have had with NETGEAR is janky, and I cant rely on a support agent to help me with their jank, because I dont have the money to pay their monthly tech support costs.
I am back to report, I recieved my TP-Link AX3000. My wifi speeds are now 681 mbps, and it is working flawlessly, in addition, I now have bluetooth. Crazy that these 2 devices are the same price.
Anyways, beware everyone, NETGEAR IS NOT THE WAY.
