Please try the following to get your adapter working. It has worked for me and its been two weeks with no issues.
1)Download the Latest netgear genie software to C:\Temp and extract all to that folder.
2)Uninstall your netgear genie software and any files and folders associated with it.
(DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ADAPTER PLUGGED IN AFTER UNINSTALL)
3)Remove the following registry entries. (Ctrl+R then type regedit into the field)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\BCM42RLY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BCM42RLY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\BCMH43XX
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BCMH43XX
4)Run the file setup-V1.0.0.26-win81_signed.exe located in C:\Temp as administrator and follow the installer exactly.
5) Connect to your network and presto it should work without anymore drops.
Feel free to PM me for any questions. I am currently working on installation instructions for distribution.
