A6210 doesn't automatically reconnect after reboot

Hi gmhyman,
Try to connect to the network using the windows utility(the icon on the system tray). Make sure that "Connect automatically" is checked before clicking connect.
Unfortunately I did that (i.e. made sure the "connect automatically" box was checked) long ago. Any other ideas? I suspect some very subtle registry weirdness, but I'm not enough of a registry person to determine if that's true.
Hi gmhyman,
You've mentioned that it also happens on your previous adapter which is a different brand. There might be a setting on the Windows 10 that needs to be configured. Have you tried checking on microsoft team?
I agree it's most probably a Windows setting. I've done google searches, and also had a chat session with Microsoft support which has them changing to generic instead if NetGear drivers, all with absolutely no effect. This isn't a driver problem - if I disable the Ethernet interface and reboot, wifi connects as expected. The issue is detecting and properly handling the second interface. If I knew how to make the wifi primary and Ethernet secondary, I'd make a small wager that the Ethernet wouldn't connect :)
