I just purchased the A6200 and am having the same issues described here in Windows 8.1 Build 9431.
Anyone else seeing these errors in their event logs?
Source: System | Event ID: 7000
"The BCM42RLY service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified." (Go to Start > eventvwr.exe > System > Filter > and filter by event ID 7000)
It appears that the device is using a Broadcom chipset and the service is crashing out in my situation.
I don't know if I'm going to stick with the A6200 though, I'm not a fan of Broadcom. I'll try support though.
