A6200 – New Driver
I've downloaded the latest A6200 Drivers from the downloads page and installed on my Windows 10 machine. I'm using the standalone driver 1.0.0.26-1, but when installed, Windows sees this driver as 1.0.0.0 on the Programs/Features page and 6.30.145.30 within Device Manager. Are these driver versions correct? Shouldn't I see 1.0.0.26 as the driver version used? Also, the driver date is listed as 4/3/2013. Can anyone help? I want to make sure I'm on the latest driver version with Windows 10.

Hi mazer3800,
Welcome to Community!
The driver version version I have is different from what you have. It is normal that it is not the 1.0.0.26 that will appear on driver properties. Below is the screenshot of my adapter properties.
Below are the steps I tried to
- With the A6200 plugged in, uninstall the old NETGEAR software and drivers. To do this, open Control Panel.
- Click on “Uninstall a program”.
- Click on “NETGEAR A6200 Genie” and click Uninstall
- Once uninstall has completed, unplug your A6200 adapter and restart your PC.
- If you are using USB 3.0, you will need to upgrade the USB host controller.
- To determine if you are using USB 3.0, see Microsoft’s support article USB 3.0 Devices.
- For information on how to update the USB host controller driver, visit your motherboard manufacturer’s website.
For more information on updating drivers in Windows 10, see Microsoft’s support article: How to Install and Update drivers in Windows 10.
- Ensure that you have installed all of the necessary updates for Windows 10 before proceeding. For more information on installing Windows updates, see Microsoft’s support article Service Pack and Update Center.
- Download and extract the A6200 softwareto a convenient place such as your desktop.
- Choice one of listed execution file and run.
- standalone-V1.0.011-win8.1_win10_signed.exe (with NETGEAR Genie )
- setup-V1.0.0.26-win8.1_win10_signed.exe (Driver Only)
- Follow the on-screen installation instructions (insert the adapter when prompted)
- When the installation has completed, restart your PC.

Community TeamJames,
Thanks for your response. I have followed your instrtuctions as specified and installed the standalone driver. Can you confirm the driver in the image below is correct for the standalone? Maybe the driver version is different between Genie/Standalone?
Thanks for your help!
