new win8.1 install, my old Dlink DWA140 crashes , and is no longer supported. by dstink on win8 but ok on 7.

off dime, I set all power setting of every thing to no sleep,etc.
i read every post on every forum, tried the hoop jumps... to no avail.
so i decide to post here. MY fix for Google searchers.
wow, beta drivers? great. i will try that.
i running dot 26.1. now.
A SOLUTION:
but here is the kicker, i found if i removed the driver totally, with genie.
then, load the stand alone, no genie.
it runs like a rock. (wife is kissing me now)
seems Genie and windows, are in API clash.?
no more drops outs, and the drop outs set device manager to yellow status for A6200. (usb port 3, Asus m5a975 R.2.0) one more clue.
The is wifes Desktop, on wifi.
my router is DIR655. .
thanks for the great forum and the updates.
keeping up with WIN8.1 must be hard, so keep up the great work.
I cant wait to try it on AC router....
