Lately my NETGEAR WNDA3100v3 has been dropping internet randomly. I looked up the reviews on this and apparently it doesn't work with win10. Does anyone have a suggestion for USB wifi adapter I mainly game with my PC. Thanks!

This is a sign that you should go wired.

I've used a D-Link DWA-132 USB WiFi adapter. works 100% with Windows 10 64-bit and various distributions of Linux

Get a longer cable. Not sure how long you need, but I got a 30m for about £5.
Get some cable clips. Bang it in to the skirting board get it set up nice. It's 100% worth it in the end. You'll have a much more stable, lag free experience.

I got mine from amazon. Dirt cheap and works perfect. Just type in the size Ethernet cable you want.
Hardware store or again Amazon for the cable clips.
But yeah, best way to go, especially if you're gaming.
