A6200 Disconnecting on Windows 10
Im having an issue with the A6200 Wifi Adapter on windows 10, it will work for an intermittent amount of time (usually 5-10min) then completely disconnect, only showing my network when i click on the...
- May 11, 2016Anyone having trouble with Netgear Wireless AC6200 dropping out intermittently after upgrading to Windows 10, here is a possible solution:1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Change Plan Settings\Change Advanced Power Settings;2. Expand Wireless Adaptor Settings\Power Saving Mode and make sure it is set to "Maximum Performance";3. Expand USB Settings\USB Selective Suspend Settings and change Setting to "Disabled".This worked for me and YMMV, but I hope this helps avoid the weeks of frustration I've just gone through..

But there should be a method to fix this problem without investing money in a new one. I am still not able to use mine

Hi All,
Please try to install the driver while antivirus or firewall are off. Turn on once the driver has been successfully installed.

Since I am in the mood for a play I will have a go with the AV/Firewall off and see how it goes

Just an update...installing the standalone (V1.0.0.11 which was in thee V1.0.0.26-1 package) with the AV/Firewall disabled did not help, I had a cut out just then and will be uninstalling this again.

Hey guy from Netgear - instead of giving everyone trivial troubleshooting steps, how about you actually release a driver that works in Windows 10?
I have reformatted fresh Windows 10, installed the driver and then BAM, disconnects all over the place. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of half-arsed support you are offering. These are paying customers that are without a working product.
This has been going on (from what I can see) for months and months without any sort of solution or even mention that Netgear is working to address the issues.
On another note, does anyone have an address I can send this defective hardware back and bill Netgear for all the time and effort we have put in to trying to get these cards to actually work under Windows 10?

i agree aswell, i even had to upgrade to the AC1200 Wireless-AC High-Gain Wi-Fi USB 3.0 Adapter, And the problems have ceased, this one has a software update for windows 10 but the A6200 still does not have an update for windows 10
