A6210 & Windows 10 - Does driver 1.0.0.34 fix all the problems I have read about ?
My time is too short to mess around with different drivers/solutions. One question - does the A6210 adapter work with Windows 10 32/64 bit PROPERLY using driver version 1.0.0.34 ? I'm not int...
Sadly no. My connection after a while will drop, which is most annoying when playing a game online.
To get around this I uninstalled the netgear driver and just used the one windows 10 finds for it but because that isn't the proper driver it doesn't take advantage of the features of the adapter. I went from about 110mbps to about 10mbps with this driver and my home connection is 200mbps. The annoying thing is I bought this adapter so I could get the best speeds. I'm presuming this is simply a driver issue and they aren't bothering to fix it.
Definitely don't buy this until they fix the connection drop issue as it's extremely annoying!
Hi MentallyRich,
Did you use the standalone driver or the driver with genie? If it is the driver with genie, please try the standalone driver.
I reinstalled the standalone driver yesterday and so far my connection hasn't dropped. I did notice though that as part of a windows update this month they have improved network connectivity so maybe it was a problem with windows 10 and not the netgear driver.
The problems with the A6210 and A6200 Windows 10, regarding them constantly dropping connections and requiring a full disconnect/reconnect is NOT fixed. I repeat, this problem has NOT been resolved, so please consider this before purchasing. I hate to have to crusade in these threads, but the problem has persisted since Windows 10 release with NO fixes from Netgear, other than suggestions to reinstall drivers, which DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE.
Just making sure people are aware that this problem HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET!!!
