A6200 Windows 8 support
Any one get this to work on windows 8? Just installed the OS and it sees the device but doesnt install the correct drivers for it. The blue light doesnt even come on...
I bought this USB adapter to work along with my A6300 Router and obtain the fastest possible Wifi speeds at home. It worked great on Windows 7, copied ALOT of data through my network, worked flawlessly.
I just formatted to Windows 8 and like described above, the WIFI adapter will work fine until I try and copy/access certain files on my home server PC. The windows explorer network window begins to hang, green status bar starts going as if it is rescanning for networks. All internet activity on the PC halts at this point, Windows shows MY network as the only Wi-Fi one around.
The only fix is to remove the usb adapter from its dock and re-connect it. It then will work fine until I need to access my server. Tried new drivers, standalones, and just reformatted my PC again, still no avail.
The driver/adapter is clearly has a problem and needs to be fixed. And now considering most PC's now are being forced with Windows 8 and are harder to change if you don't know how to work around the UEFI's you think it would be a bit more of a priority?
Nothing like using my 5 year old D-Link adapter to enjoy my $250 network setup :mad:
