I did register the device, it is a A6150-100PES AC1200 NANO USB WLAN adapter. Sorry if these informations were missing, i must have written them in the wrong place.
As for the malfunction, what happens is that the connection drops without a warning, and after a while the wifi icon shows the "no connection" image, and it will generally only work again if i manually disconnect and reconnect. That would occur even more if i am asking for a heavy download, such as for installing some programs online.
Until recently, it would happen a few times a day at maximum, and did so since i bought it, but recently the connection would be unable to hold more than a few seconds.
This happened on every router i have been connected to, and that work normally on other devices.
I am also wondering why the hardware assistance doesn't work either,despite the number of times i tried, for several days since last week.
I had thought about calling the support, but it isn't covered any more by the warranty.
I hope this is clear enough, i apologise for not having precised the necessary on the first hand
Thank you for your assistance

That's something for Netgear support to deal with.
You should know that this community is essentially a user-to-user venue to talk about technical issues, with some input from a small band of Netgear techies.
We aren't equipped to answers sales questions or to talk about warranty issues.
If you want "official" support then you should go through the right channels.

What icon? Something in Windows?
Connection drops from what? A Windows PC? Laptop?

What "hardware assistance" are you talking about?
