A6210 Adapter Not Recognizing USB 3.0
I've had this adapter for about two months, and while it is still working, it no longer recognizes the USB 3.0 ports that it's plugged into. I've tried multiple ports and re-installing the wireless drivers. Whenever I start up it tells me to plug it into a USB 3.0 port. Is this something anyone else has encountered? Thank you for any help you can provide.

- xDredgexNoviceWeird twist of the plot here:
I did a complete reinstall of my OS (it was about time), used the MediaTek drivers provided in another thread in this forum, still received the USB 3.0 message. I took a step back and installed the NETGEAR-specific 1.0.0.25 drivers over the MediaTek (seeing if maybe cycling up would possibly remedy the situation) never once removing the device. No message. I rebooted multiple times, unplugged and reinserted the adapter numerous times, still, no message.
This may not be a typical result and unknown factors in my configurations caused this break in the clouds, but it's still worth endeavoring if you're game. - twodaendAspirantI just bought the A6210 and I am having the same problem. I am using an MSI H87-G43 MB and no matter which USB 3.0 port I try, I receive the same message that this device would perform better if it is used in a USB 3.0 port, which it is. I have other USB 3.0 devices and they recognize the ports just fine.
- twodaendAspirantI just tried the suggestion from the post below. I completely removed the Netgear driver and installed the suggested one. I no longer get the message and now USBTree see the adapter as connected to a superspeed port rather than just a highspeed port.
