Netgear a6150 loses connection to one specific wifi

[d1olph]

I bought this about two weeks ago, and all of a sudden today it loses connection to my wifi source. I have another person in the house that uses a different wifi adapter and it connects to it just fine, even my pcie card can connect to it, but not my wifi adapter. For two weeks it was fine, it was connected to the wifi source, but today, out of the blue it disconnects. I have tried literally EVERYTHING, and am now considering to replace it with a Tp-link.

What actually happens?

Windows throws up an error?

Are you using the Netgear utility to make the connection or leaving it to Windows?

Never a wise claim.

The trouble with these adapters is that they rely in Windows to play nicely. If it misbehaves, the adapter will fall over.

One thing to look for is the setting for energy for the USB device saving in Windows.

Here's where to check.

Wifi adapter properties

Also ensure that you have all the right drivers for your PC and its USB chips.

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 issue.

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.
