Netgear a7000 wrong region
Hi! So this problem has been driving me mad! My ISP prevents me from choosing which 5ghz channel to use. Its all automated, the router basically "scans" and picks a channel based on performance. Here, it always defaults to channel 157. The problem is that the netgear a7000 that I purchased (best buy canada) can't see that channel. In the "netgear genie" program, I see the region as EUROPE. From what I can tell, channel 157 is prohibited in europe ? Meaning that I can't even see my wifi network. Is there a way to change the region? I've been banging my head against a wall trying to speak to tech support from my ISP, and there is nothing they can do to help. Any help or idea would be very appreciated.Netgear A6100 wifi adapter maybe not working
So I’ve been using my computer for about 5 years now, and I have had no problems so far. Recently, I wiped it because I had little to no space left and overall wanted to try and fix some problems. (May have been a bad decision, but hey I got this computer until I go to college so I’m trying to make it work). Said problems were fixed once wiping. However, today and yesterday I’ve had problems connecting to my internet. Websites and applications such as discord work 100% fine, but whenever I try to run a game I can’t connect. I tried to reconnect, I tried restarting my computer and router, and then tried disabling the automatically detecting settings in my LAN settings (which helped a bit). All of these, overall, did not solve my problem. This leads me to believe theres either something wrong with my computer, or the adapter is not working as it should. Does anyone have an idea as to how I could fix this?USB Wifi Adaptor A6210 connection issues
I purchased this adaptor on Oct. 2, 2021 and didn't really have any issues with it. After a little while I noticed whenever I booted my pc, it would keep connecting and disconnecting from my school's wifi. As well, this would happen during my use with the computer and when I clicked the internet symbol on the bottom right of my screen, it would switch from showing all the available networks to none. As I began to explore, sometimes when the adaptor wouldn't show available networks at all, I would look in my windows settings under the "Bluetooth & other devices" tab and it would show it as connected but say the setup was incomplete and to please connect to the internet. If I unplugged and plugged it back in it would work but still connect and disconnect from networks for at least a minute before holding a connection. As well, I would keep hearing the windows connection and disconnection sound and looked at the same tab of my windows settings and see that the message under the adaptor would switch back and forth with every connection sound between "Connecred to usb3.0" and "Device can perform faster when connected to usb3.0" which is surprising and makes no sense. My motherboard is an Asus STRIX B-350-F Gaming motherboard. On the back panel the motherboard has 2x USB 3.1 Gen 2 port(s), 4x USB 3.1 Gen 1 port(s), and 2 x USB 2.0 port(s). I had it plugged the usb 3.1 gen ports. I did at one point switch it to the front panel of my tower that had a usb 3.0 port and it rapidly switched between "connected to usb 3.0" and "Device can perform faster when connected to usb3.0" every second if not faster. I now have to let me pc sit for 5 minutes after I boot it up to let it run its course of connecting and disconnecting to networks and then let it get a stable connection, if it doesnt give me a message saving driver error. When I am connected and observe my wifi tab under performance in task manager, there are spikes where no data is sent or received for 5-10 seconds and then it resumes for a little bit, all while saying I am connected to internet. The best solution I have found for this, is to have a Twitch stream open and the connection always has a constant feed of sending and receiving data in the wifi tab of task manager. So far, what I have done to try and help: 1. Gone to device manager, clicked on the adaptor under "Network Adaptors" and turned off "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" under "Power Management." 2. Repeated this for my USB ports in device manager 3. Changed "Max USB Speed" to USB 3.0 and USB Auto and changed "Channel; Mode" to "2.4G + 5G" and "5G Only." 4. Plugged the adaptor into different USB ports. None of these have produced any notable results. I wanted to submit a ticket but my support expired a couple months ago. I'm done trying my own solutions and need help.
