NETGEAR A6100 Disconnects all the time

You might get better and quicker replies, and find other answers, over in the appropriate section for your device:

WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

No need to repost there, unless you want to – that will just clutter up the place with duplicated messages – but you might find advice related to your hardware.

I have asked the Netgear moderator to move your message.

Re: NETGEAR A6100 Disconnects all the time

I am having the same problem. The Netgear genie will say I'm connected to my router, but not to the internet. And when it does connect to the internet it's extremely slow. I've been using this thing for two solid weeks with no problem and then today it's shutting off on me constantly.

Re: NETGEAR A6100 Disconnects all the time

I found a video on youtube about the A700 adapter having the same issue and how to fix it, its a problem with a service. 

Link to the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELhMSdv3-Xs 

I,m thinking there is a service that is running for the A6100 that can be turned of to fix the problem but i have no experience finding stuff like that, so if anyone finds it please tell us 🙂

It would help to have a simple description rather than having to sit through an inaudible and confusing video. Some of us can read. These things are usually easy to track down, if you know what you are looking for.

I,m sorry but i,m no good at writing and good at explaining stuff since my native language is not English, but at about 2:40 in the video he shows how he fixed it for the a7000 @michaelkenward

Re: NETGEAR A6100 Disconnects all the time

I'm not complaining about your message, but his hopeless video.

 

He needs to write a simple text description.

  • open task manager
  • look for background processes
  • find Realtek RtlService Application
  • .....

I'll see if I can track down a clearer explanation.
