    i found a solution that worked for me:

    Step 1:Go to "Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings".
     
    Step 2:Expand "Wireless Adaptor Settings > Power Saving Mode" and make sure it is set to "Maximum Performance".
     
    Step 3:Expand "USB Settings > USB Selective Suspend Settings" and change Setting to "Disabled".

Hey guys, the "solution" posted for this topic actually does not solve my problem. I just thought I'd let you know that when I plugged my WNDA into a 3.0 usb slot, it fixed this problem for me. I no longer disconnect. 

 

There ya go,

    I was plugged into a USB 3, although it should not matter as the adapter is USB 2.

     

    I fixed the problem as well, I threw away the worthless Netgear adapter and replaced it with another brand that works flawlessly out of the box.   This was the second major issue I have had with a Netgear product that Netgear had no fix for, nor would they replace. I am not mad, I have just learned my lesson. I will never buy another Netgear product again.
