Experiencing issues with my NETGEAR A6210 losing connection to the 5G network unexpectedly and facing intermittent slowdowns until I restart or remove it from the USB 3.0 port. It sometimes shows as not connected until I physically reinstall it. The problem affects both 2.5 and 5G bands. Speed tests indicate only download speeds drop significantly, while upload remains stable. After reinstalling drivers, the issue persists. Typically, I expect around 100Mbps download, but during outages I see as low as 3Mbps. Is this a hardware fault? If yes, should I consider purchasing a USB, PCIe, or M.2 device?

Test on a different PC to check if the problem continues. If it does, it’s likely resolved. If not, we’ll move forward.

Alright. Will test it out tomorrow. I have an old PC so I'll try that. That bad part is that I only get the issue around once every 3 hours and never before one hour. Edit: I would like to add I remember I tried a speed test on my phone and a laptop while I was having the issue. The results were normal. I'm almost sure that this is a card specific problem.
