Please follow these troubleshooting steps when you are unable to connect at maximum speed with your NETGEAR wireless adapter:-

1)Open the utility for your Netgear adapter and go to the Settings tab.
2)Click on Advanced Settings.
3)In Advanced settings, make sure the maximum wireless speed options (in this case, 108 and 54 ) are enabled under Wireless mode.
4)Click OK to apply the settings. Your adapter is now configured to connect at the highest wireless mode.

If these these steps does not make any difference then upload the latest drivers for the adapter.In this case it will be version 3.0.

Netgear wireless adapter disconnects from router randomly

check for firmware update for your adapter...since it usb..u need to put it in open..i believed the USB extension is included when u purchased that.

do not connect the USB adapter to a USB hub unless the HUB is powered so that it can performed better. Connect it directly to your PC slot
