Well that solution didn't work for me because I've already done that and nothing has worked at all I'm about to scrap this thing because it's garbage I'm running Windows 11 which for some reason it's incompatible with but it works sometimes and it's been working and then also it doesn't work so obviously it's capable of working you guys just haven't made the drivers or whatever for Windows 11 either way I'm about to scrap this thing and never by Netgear stuff again trash
Wenesday, June 5th, 2024 -- Possible solution
I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days and I think I've found a couple of ways to fix it. I haven't had any disconnections in the past few days since I tried these solutions.
First Method:
1. Go to Device Manager.
2. Click on "Network adapters".
3. Right-click on your network adapter and select "Properties".
4. Go to the "Advanced" tab.
5. Find "Max USB Speed" in the list of properties.
6. From the dropdown menu on the right, select "USB 3.0".
7. Make sure your device is plugged into a USB 3.0 slot.
8. Check in "Bluetooth & other devices" in Windows settings to see if it says "Connect to USB
3.0".
Second Method:
1. Press the Windows key and type "Services".
2. Right-click on "Services" and select "Run as administrator".
3. In the Services window, scroll or press 'n' on your keyboard to find "NetgearSwitchUSB".
4. Right-click on "NetgearSwitchUSB" and select "Properties".
5. In the "General" tab, find "Startup type" in the dropdown menu and select "Disabled".
6. Click "Apply" and then "OK".
Whenever I use my computer for the day, I turn it on and connect it with the Netgear Genei software.
Once it's connected, I restart my computer and it doesn't disconnect for the whole day.
I hope these steps help fix the issue for everyone.
