I am not talking about Adhoc mode. I am talking about creating hotspot in "infrastructure" mode. This is done by utilizing the built in API in windows 7, 8 and 10 to create a hotspot. The Last 4 (and only versions) of the netgear 6210 drivers, do no support it. For such a basic funtionality of a wifi adapter to be able to broadcast a wifi signal, it is apalling of why it is not supported.
