A6200 will not connect
Bought A6200 to take advantage of new Airport Extreme router. Although software installed and it sees the networks, it won't connect. Yes the passphrase is correct - works on all our kit. Inbuilt...

Hi - I tried this just now. Uninstall, reboot, install standalone from CD. With the standalone driver, Windows recognises the adapter when plugged in. However, it remains unconnected - does not find any wireless networks to connect to (there are at least 10-15 always available here). So end result is actually less progress than using the Genie client which found the networks (just wouldn't connect to them!).
I have renabled the Atheros and will download the standalone v26 beam forming driver and try again just in case that kicks anything into action.
Thereafter I fear I'm going to have to try to return it as unfit for purpose...
