Wifi adaptor trouble

[JaymanHD]

Hi, I own a Belkin N450 DB/N600 DB Wi-Fi adapter and lately I have been running into trouble. When I am using applications that require an internet connection, the signal drops and I have to manually turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. After that I have to connect back to my Wi-Fi which takes a total of 20 seconds. It may not seem like a lot of time, but It makes me mad when I have to do it while I'm in the middle of something important. I am connected to my 5Ghz network and my computer is definitely in its range. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and still don't have a fix, looking for some help. Thanks!

Used the correct drivers when reinstalling? There's a V1 and V2 version of the adapter.
Tried an usb extension cable? Moving such an adapter around can increase signal strength.
Tested with the 2.4ghz band as well?
Looked for firmware update for the router as well?

I've tried all of these things. It does work better on the 2.4Ghz network, but it doesn't get nearly as fast as the 5Ghz network. When I see both networks on my connection tab, my 5Ghz shows a better signal quality than my 2.4. This could probably be a glitch or something I don't know.

Tried to set a fixed channel in the router instead of letting it pick what it thinks is the strongest? Or it maybe just randomly picking it.Test each channel.
