sierra 306 not working with windows 10
Since I installed windows 10, my sierra 306 aircard does not "wake up" properly when the computer goes into power save mode. I have to close the sierra program and re-start it every time.

Hello Lo-Ke
Have you done the updates from you PC maker for your usb ports I know since windows 10 people have been having usb issues with tons of things I would try that. let me know if it helps.

Thanks DarrenM. I tried as you suggested but there were no updates for USB from my manufacturer. I think that I should just be content with a "nuisance" glitch. At least I can successfully connect to the internet with Windows 10, which is better than some posts I have read. I think that manufacturers of devices are a bit behind in making their products compatible with this new OS.

My Sierra 306 has magically started working properly and reliably. I think Netgear must have done an unannounced update to make it more compatible with Windows 10. Now all I need to do is figure out how to close my Netgear account !! No answer has been offered from the Community.
