Problem with my A6210 adapter
I have a problem with my A6210 adapter, it is very erratic and has a hard time staying connected to the computer sometimes. It just disconnects and refreshes and reconnects, sometimes it does that several times in a row and it always does it when it connects to my wifi.
I have the latest driver, I have tried (and is running) the standalone driver, I have all my energy setting set so that it shouldn't power down (both adapter and USB ports), I've tried several different USB ports both 2.0 and 3.0. I have searched around on forums but I haven't found a solution, please help me!

Is this 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz?
5 GHz is faster but has a shorter distance.
Have you checked for local wifi interference?

Re: Problem with my A6210 adapter
Same problem with both 2.4 and 5, although 5 tends to be slightly more inconsistent.5 GHz is what I prefer to use simply because of the speed boost, it's not essential but it helps when gaming for instance.
I don't think the problem lies in wifi interference, it's more as if the adapter tries to connect but then rejects the wifi and reboots.
