Wireless Ping Spikes - A7000
Hello,
Recently I've started expirencing random ping spikes with my Netgear A7000 adapter. I have reinstalled the software, as well as tried older versions of it to no avail. I have found a solution- disabiling WLAN Auto Config in it's settings via netsh, however this is a very messy solution and I shouldn't have to do this on a production unit. Any ideas on how to fix this on a more permananent basis?

If you are running Windows 10, Disable the RunSwUSB service, reboot.
This MAY help you with ping spikes.
- Tried this, didn't work.
To tell the trurth, junk the device. Buy something different.
Write it off as a bad purchase.
I bought it and now only use it as a backup device (since I bought it)
Has never worked from day 1 under Windows 10.
- What would you recommend?
If you are something Directional edimax ew-7811dac
Cheap, just works, but they do burn out over the months pushing 100GB's.
I do 400GB per month over about 700 meters, 5G, remote backup nightly.
I was hoping the A7000 would be long lasting, but I'm stocking up on the Edi's. Die/replace/forget until it dies.
At $27 it's way cheaper than I paid for the A7000 and the time to relises this is pointless.
Only have to google A7000 for issues.
- I guess I got really lucky.
Must have, I'm out the door of MSY tomorrow when they open for EdiMax that works
