James, that is B.S. Hareware need to conform to windows, not the other way around.
Yes, Windows version 16XX did something to the Wlan stack, but EVERY other card seems to work find. WHY does only Netgear not work?
<Because of the crap drivers, install program, and Genie stink>
Tired of waiting for updates that don't work anyway.
I think TEN (10) MONTHS was a reasonable time to wait for a fix, RIGHT?
Never AGAIN will I BUY NETGEAR.
I purchased an ASUS USB ac53 nano.

WORKS PERFECTLY, all windows versions, all modes!

I figured how to get the A6210 to work with Windows 10 latest build. It is to install the old driver.
First you will need to temporarily disable driver signature validation. Instructions on doing that can be found http://windowsreport.com/driver-signature-enforcement-windows-10/
Once you have temporarily disabled the driver validation. Then go to install the driver from disk. If you upgraded the old folder should be still there called Windows.old. Go to the driver folder under Windows and you will be able to install the driver.
