Hi, I have exactly the same problems as Reik1, I have 2 Netgear A6210 and bought them 2 years ago and they always had some disconnections issues (as a quick research on the forum shows it's common on this model) but it's gotten worse the last few weeks and it disconnects a few times a day but as Reik1 said it's completely random and sometimes it's fine for hours and others it disconnects every 30min.
I tried the windows drivers, the latest netgear drivers, I also had the issue with older drivers but it's always the same problem. I also changed my pc last week and hoped it would be some kind of problem with my old platform (intel) and install of windows 10 but now I have an AMD cpu on an AM4 motherboard with a fresh install of windows 10 and still the exact same problem
It's a shame because when it works, it works really well but now I just stopped using them and I'm on a much slower dongle from another brand with which I have no problems
