A7000 stops working with SVM mode

Since the A7000 appears to function correctly until SVM mode is enabled in the BIOS, my thought was there might be something in the A7000 firmware that cannot handle SVM mode on Windows 11.

Could be. Hopefully not, since the product is EoL, so Netgear won't update anything. But also could be an outdated BiOS or chipset drivers on the PC.
Gemini is saying that some users have found that disabling "Fast Boot" in the BiOS or "Fast Startup" in the Windows power settings resolves the problem. Could be true, since the AI large language models are often trained on reddit...
Its not that easy to find the "Fast Startup" option, it's in control panel -> power options -> change what the power button does. Note you need to open the control panel with elevated privileges to change the setting.
But getting a new wifi adapter is of course a reasonable alternative, especially if you have a wifi 6 or wifi 7 router.
