    i found a solution that worked for me:

    Step 3:Expand "USB Settings > USB Selective Suspend Settings" and change Setting to "Disabled".

I was past time for store return. I still have this POS sitting on my desk as a reminder to never buy a Netgear product again. I have had problems with Netgear in the past and I'm done with them.

    This reflects poorly on the company as a whole.
