A6100 on Windows 10
I tried installing in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode but the PC cannot detect the device. Anyone know of a temporary fix until final release of Win10 and drivers are made available? Thanks, all.
1. In device manager, click on the 6100 and choose update driver, browse my computer, let me choose which drivers, and uncheck show compatible drivers
2. Select Realtek Semiconducter Corp (use the 2nd one down on the list - there are two in a row)
3.On the right side select Realtek 8812AU Wireless LAN 802.11 ac USB NIC Version 1027.4.1120.2014 (use the second one down on the list again with the driver date of 02/17/2015)
4. Ignore the warning message and install it anyway
5. Should Work for Windows 10 Now!
Thanks a bunch for the workaround. I was in Office Depot looking this up on my phone and was reading the first few posts on this and was about to just put it back. Read the workaround and went ahead and bought it. I had purcahsed some Etechcity brand on Amazon that did not work... worked great for Win 7 .. still needed them so kept them. I wonder if there is a generic driver that would have worked for them? Oh well.. I'm good now. Shame on M$ and the stupid vendors for not getting on the same page with this b/c Netgear isn't the only one. It seems like NO ONE has drivers for 10.
