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..

You wont get you money back, I tried that. They want you to buy a new adapter, which in my case would cost even more and I was supposed to either pay the delivery or drive to there store and pick it up myself. I am recommending everyone to stay away from Netgear, I have never experienced a worse customer service than this one right here.
I got lucky and could return my adapter to local store I bought it, they were very friendly and offered me even a new one from another company.

That is lucky.
I am just never going to purchase another Netgear product again, and advise anyone I know never to purchase any Netgear products as well. For a company the size of Netgear, I honestly cannot figure out how it is so difficult for them to get one or two programmers and make a Windows 10 driver that works - oh wait, you are right, they don't care and want you to buy a new network adapter. FORGET THAT!

Dear Netgear,
This is becoming a bit of a joke. Ongoing driver issues since July 2015?
The A6200 was perfectly fine for me until upgrading to windows 10.
Constant device resetting on a vanilla windows 10 installation. Literally the first thing i installed was the netgear drivers, nothing else.
Tried various usb ports and hubs, both 2.0 and 3.0
Please fix this !

The network interface "NETGEAR A6200 WiFi Adapter" has begun resetting. There will be a momentary disruption in network connectivity while the hardware resets. Reason: The network driver detected that its hardware has stopped responding to commands. This network interface has reset 53 time(s) since it was last initialized.
