When ever my GPU usage crosses 80% my wifi stops working!
My old wifi usb used to overheat, it was not a netgear usb. I bought a Netgear WNA3100M N300 and now whenever i try to run stuff like obs and anyother app like Blender my wifi stops working.
Please help me with a way to fix this

Smells like something amiss on your PC to me.

 

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

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

WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

Digisol routers have nothing to do with Netgear

 

Your footer says:

 

WNA3100|Wireless-N 300 USB Adapter

 

That's not a router. As the label it says it is USB adapter for wifi.

 

If you don't own one of those, I have no idea what help you expect from this place.

have you tried the adapter in other pc/laptops? 

If you've isolated it to when the gpu is hitting >80% (probably a bit of strain on cpu as well), it could be a power issue. 

Have you checked the power supply?
