Issues with AC1200 wifi adapter

So for awhile i used this ac1200 usb 3,0 wifi adapter and it helped alot but now im getting quite a few issues, for an example wifi randomly disconnecting and reconnecting and for some reason even connecting to my wifi 1 that i keep pressing forgot on so it would stop but for some reason just stills connects to it is there any fixes to this.

  • What are you using the A6210 in? Which version of Windows?

     

    Do you have the latest drivers for the adapter.

     

    What happens if you try a different USB port?

        That doesn't tell us much. There may be several "latest windows 10 versions". (I run a couple of different Windows 11 builds.) I doubt if that is crucial but these can mess around with existing devices.

         

        Then there are the windows drivers for USB on your motherboard. They are usually crucial, but you never know.

         

        As to  you mean by "whatever the latest", we don't know how you determined that. Numbers matter.
