Can't Stay Online. Keeps Disconnecting.

Hello, I have RangeMax Dual BAnd Wireless-N USB Adapter WND3100  I can't seem to stay connected. There are times it operates very well,, but most of the time I'm having to unplug it, sometimes 10 times in an hour. then as soon as I try to go online, the red screen comes up and I'm knocked off again. It's very frustrating. HELP!

I use this device and I think it is very sensitive to any fluctuation in the USB power supply. Mine has disconnects when plugged into 4 of my 8 USB ports (all USB 2) but not on the other 4, 2 of which are USB 3 and 2 have a permanent power on.

Try swapping ports and see what happens.

I have the same adapter and I was just having the same problem so what i did was I went to the open network and sharing center, in the top left hand corner i clicked the change adapter settings. Then i right clicked the wnda3100 adapter and went down to the properties and when that box poped up i went to where it says connect using and i clicked on the configure button. now when the next box pops up i went to the advanced tab and in the drop down box i enabled everything but the disable upon wired connection, changed the ibss mode to a,b,g,n auto. now i dont know if this is the right answer but it worked for me and i have been online for about 2 hrs steady now where to as before this i couldnt hold a connection at all.
