Re: A7000 USB Adaptor disconects and reconects

I am having the same problem. This odd adapter is coupled with Netgear's R7000P (AC2300) router. To disable "RunSwUSB", double click the offending service and you will have the option to permanately disable the service. Simply select "Disabled" as the Startup type.

I just built a new PC and I am using the A7000.

Same as others have reported, every couple of hours the A7000 would just disconnect and then reconnect from the PC with the usual USB disconnect ding dong sound.

I have just disabled RunSwUSB and will see over the next few days if that fixes the issue.
