A6200 timing out Windows 10
Hi All, hope I'm not starting a new thread, surely I can't be the only one here with this issue. After upgrading (???) to WX I have found that my WiFi Network icon gets a red X on the top left hand...
I think it's a conjuction of both to be honest. I've attempted to install older drivers and set the process to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7, I successfully connected to the internet for X amount of time and then it times out in the same manner. If it's not data usage it must be a simple communication glitch between the A6200, its drivers, and Windows 10. Tell me, are you using V1.0.0.26 or V1.0.0.35 for your drivers?? V1.0.0.35 (My current driver) aren't labeled as Beta, yet still suffer from disconnecting. Thanks for your input.
Quick follow-up to my previous post....
I reconfigured my A6200, eliminating Genie as per a post in another thread. In other words, I used only the standalone driver included with the .35 Beta drivers.
The installation went fine, and upon reboot, both my 2.4 and 5GHz connections showed up in the native Win 10 wirelss dialog. I did this installation on an HP All-in-one computer that is used only in the kitchen (Win 10 Home), and it sat most of the day with infrequent use, other than to download occasional Norton updates, and me checking it every once in a while, including a few surfing excercises simply to see if the connection was OK. I left it on 5Ghz. It maintained the connection all day without a problem, and I was heartened. BTW...my router is a Netgear R7000.
Upon checking this morning, I found the usual thing...an incomplete backup, as the 5GHz connection had gone offline and left me with neither an internet or local network connection. Very disappointing.
While I remain suspect of a data volume issue, I can't be certain. What is certain is that there's absolutely something wrong with the Netgear drivers in conjunction with Windows 10, as I have been using the A6200 since it was released (on both Win 7 Home & Ultimate) with very few problems. Just for the hell of it, I'm going to disconnect the A6200 and spend the day on the computer's 2.4GHz adapter today and tonight, and see if my backup completes. I'll report back.
I can confirm I as well have this issue, and so far NO FIX has worked for me.
I went 8+hours without an issue (longest time) updating games as I thought it was my windows 10 copy, I did a clean install. still not working.
I get disconnects at random intervals.
I get BSOD related to the drivers when I try to stream to twitch.tv (via xsplit and OBS) the BSOD usually follow BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER or a more direct one BCMWLHIGH63a.sys bsod.
it's frustrating to say the least. considering I am a twitch broadcaster and thanks to windows 10 + the issues I can no longer stream until its fixed.
Ethernet isn't an option, and like an idiot I removed windows 7. so I'm stuck until the OS gets a fix.
though its worthy to note I tried another Wireless adapter and had the same issues, it just took longer.
so it could be a Windows 10 related issue. HOWEVER my friend used both my A6200 and his Linksys adapter just fine on his PC.
so that opens up another can of worms. If anyone finds a definite 100% fix please post in this topic. It would help out a ton.
