Why does it keep disconnecting from the USB port? It works for a little while and then disconnects. Has become one of the most annoying things ever

It is a driver issue. On the mediatek website there are drivers for all operating systems. Google mediatek go to their drivers and you want this one: USB(RT2870/RT2770/RT3X7X/RT537X)) OR USB(RT2870/RT2770/RT307X/RT2070 RT357X/RT3370/RT8070/RT5X7X/MT7610/MT7601). This product is just rebranded as Etekcity.

It could still be your USB port and/or cable, try another cable and/or different port. I've had the same thing happen and it was the cable, but on my other notebook it was the port.

It may be that you need to use a powered usb hub, if that doesnt work I would, if you havent already, google the problem and see if other users are experiencing issues or if it is just you

I have had no problems at all with the USB connection. The unit has been totally reliable. Mine is plugged into a USB 3 port.

I haven't had any problems. It works great! It sound like the device it is being connected to is not working. Have you tried connecting to another device? If it doesn't connect then it has a defect.

I am using it solely with the USB connection. I've it it about two weeks and have used it moderately with no issues.

mine only disconnects when i get 10 feet away from my phone and as long as I'm within that range it never turns off. i don't know why yours cuts off. I'd send it back for a replacement.

Seems to work well when connected to a regular USB port. So far I have not confirmed that any of the USB ports I have used are USB2. I apologize for that. Good luck with finding a definate answer.

I have not had this problem. The USB connector sits snuggly...You might want to ask the company and exchange your unit? Otherwise I find it works pretty well....

Hi. I tried this but it only works for a few minutes, then I unplug, plug, works, then stops, etc. Have you found a solution to this? Someone said clean it but didn't tell me how...

yeah. it happens. the usb is very cheaply made and tends to overheat. i would only personally recommend this product for temporary use.

I have not h had this problem with mine since I have purchased it. Did you connect both USB connectors that could be the problem or if you have not installed the CD that came with it then try to install it that may help.

Paired it with Mac Mini, some times disconnects if idle for a long time (15+ min) but switching it off and back on again fixes the issue

Not on my computer it doesn't, but I think issues like this may have to do with your motherboard above all. If you have issues with USB devices staying on, you may want to at least try updating your BIOS.

It seems to at first and then disconnects. I'm not sure if I got a dud or what
