USB wireless adapter crashes while copying files from another computer
Hi folks,
I am running a freshly built Win7 x64 desktop. Bought a Netgear wnda3100v2 wireless adapter to connect to my router (asus rt-n56u). The connection runs fine most of the time - web access is OK, same with accessing a shared HDD connected directly to the router. But when i try copying files from another Home group machine (win7 ultimate DELL Inspiron laptop), network connection immediately dies altogether - i need to remove the adapter and plug it back in to resume network connection. There are no problems accessing the files, it's the copying that is broken.
I tried using both Netgear native drivers and these - same results.
Couple of questions:
- Why is there such a weird connection loss?
- I guess i will return the adapter to amazon.com. Any suggestion for a more reliable dual-band adapter?
Thanks, David
