WNA3100 constantly disconnecting on Windows 10

Hi,

Have you tried to manually update the driver of the adapter on the device manager? Also please try the Standalone driver instead of the driver with genie.

Add me to the list.  The network adapter shuts itself off and disconnects from the network after a few minutes using the supposed Windows 10 drivers.  Netgear needs to correct this stat...you'd think after 6 months they would have come up with something.  The problem isn't Firewall, it isn't Antivirus, it isn't sleep settings...IT'S POORLY MADE DRIVERS.

I have to use my Nexus tablet to tether to my computer for Wifi since my Netgear adapter is so unreliable.  This adapter goes back to the store tomorrow, and my Netgear routers/switches at home and work are being replaced by a brand that can keep up with the times.

I've just starting getting this problem with the WNDA3100v2 right after Win 10 had resarted after an automatic update.  Reset the router, no luck.  Downloaded the Win 10 driver (no genie), uninstalled the current driver (same version as the downloaded one), rebooted the system and installed the downloaded one.  Installation stalled with a pop up error x103 titled SupTools so no functioning wifi.

JamesGL seems to have moved on, but to answer his previous questions: I have two Windows 10 PCs, and both are experiencing this issue.  I have done multiple driver uninstall / reinstalls and updates, both through Windows' Update Driver wizard and manually using the drivers downloaded from Netgear's site.

So I guess we are all left high and dry?

well i have the same one with the same problems for months i been having problems tweaking adjusting and nothing keep on disconnecting sad enough its not the atenna part its the cable if you replace the cable part go to any computer store and get a USB extention you will see your problem may be solve on my end i have no problems, sad enough all this big company sub let thing to complete there system incuding cable connection and so on and they are made badly, ya company's is not like they use to anymore pryed well thank you netgear for wasting many month's of my time to fix it on my own

Having the same issue, Constant disconnect win 10. Sometimes it will reset automatically. sometimes I have to hit "troubleshoot problems" ot the wifi toolbar icon. Sometimes I have to unplug the adapter from the USB to reset it.

Mine continuously disconnects.  If you have the receipt, bring it back to the store and return it.  Get an Atheros or something.

If I look at the Windows Event Viewer, I generally see a series of warning-level events from source NDIS, with descriptions like the folowing:

"The network interface "NETGEAR WNA3100 N300 Wireless USB Adapter" has begun resetting. There will be a momentary disruption in network connectivity while the hardware resets.
Reason: The network driver detected that its hardware has stopped responding to commands."

I see a bunch of them in a row.  The reset process evidently doesn't ever work.

Here's the procedure I do on Windows 10, every time it disconnects, courtesy of a nice support person at Microsoft.  And then it's ok for a while, until it decides it isn't.

1) Run command shell as administrator.  I've pinned a shortcut to my desktop and have a sticky with these instructions, because it comes up very frequently.

2) netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

3) netsh winsock reset

4) ipconfig /registerdns

5) ipconfig /flushdns

6) ipconfig /release

7) ipconfig /renew

ME TOO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THIS IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND I EXPECTED BETTER FROM NETGEAR AND MICROSOFT.... VERY ANGRY.
