A6100 Wireless Adapter Not Detected By Computer

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I recently bought the A6100 adapter and it is not being detected on my PC. My technical knowledge is limited and all my attempts at fixing this problem have failed :(My operating system is Windows 8.1 64 bit. I have noticed in the device manager properties for the adapter this error:&nbsp;This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)I have googled this&nbsp;error&nbsp;but I am still unsure what to do as I don't want to do any permanent damage to the computer by accident.Any advice is greatly appreciated! thank you.

Hi James,&nbsp;Thanks for your help! unfortunately it didn't work. The netgear genie tries to detect the adapter, however after 10 minutes it says "adapter could not be detected."Any more ideas?&nbsp;Thanks.
