    Anyone 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..

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.
