    Thanks.  Firmware for this old adapter definitely supports Windows 10.  WiFi is really sensitive to obstacles in the path between access point and device.

    (It could be that the adapter does not have a good "view" of the WiFi access point.)

     

    It is not clear (to me) whether the adapter consistently drops the connection to both of the WiFi systems in the house, or only drops the connection to the Spectrum system?
