Getting a message that says. Wireless adapter shut down in an unexpected way. Contact support to resolve? Thgis display comes up everytime I start my PC. Need to clear. 

Anyone have any ideas.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

1. what operating system are you running that on?

2. Have you tried uninstalling the driver/utility and letting your OS see if it has a compatible driver?

3. thats a 13 year old usb device thats latest compatibility was windows 10. Its getting a bit old and is a pretty slow device. there's pretty cheap dual band adapters out there. It might be time to upgrade to something with more performance.
