Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Update Network Adapter Drivers:
   • Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your Netgear WPN111 adapter. Outdated drivers can often cause connectivity issues. You can download the latest drivers from the Netgear support website.
   []Power Management Settings:
   • Check the power management settings for your network adapter:
     • Right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager."
     • Locate your Netgear WPN111 adapter under "Network adapters," right-click on it, and select "Properties."
     • Go to the "Power Management" tab and uncheck the option that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power.
   []Disable Fast Startup:
   • Fast Startup can sometimes cause network connectivity issues. Try disabling Fast Startup:
     • Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do.
     • Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" and uncheck "Turn on fast startup."
   []Reset TCP/IP Stack:
   • Resetting the TCP/IP stack can often resolve network connection issues:
     • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
     • Type the following commands sequentially and press Enter after each:
       Code:

        netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

   []Restart Network Services:
   • Sometimes, restarting network-related services can help:
     • Press Windows Key + R, type "services.msc," and press Enter.
     • Restart the following services: "WLAN AutoConfig" and "DHCP Client."
   []Check Network Settings:
   • Ensure that your network settings are correct, including IP configuration and DNS settings.
   []Check for Interference:
   • Nearby electronic devices or physical obstructions can interfere with the wireless signal. Try moving your PC or the router to minimize interference.
2. Additional settings:
   • If issues persist, you can also try adjusting the advanced settings of the network adapter in Device Manager, such as the roaming aggressiveness and transmit power settings.
