A6210 driver update

Hello,

I'd like to know if there's a planned driver update for A6210 so it would fix the remaining "Known issues" regarding USB3 mode on certain controllers.
Unfortunately, I own ASMedia USB3 controller and the adapter doesn't work well with it. Having set my USB Mode to USB3, the download throughput is about 1Mbps (the upload seems OK) and it's pretty much unusable. I don't want to stick with USB2 mode because it limits the total bandwidth the adapter provides (about 280Mbps max). I tested the A6210 on both Win10 and Win7. Also chcecked Renesas and VIA controller (same issue). The throughput was measured by iperf tool.

I hope to get it fixed, this affects many people because I guess I'm not the only one ASMedia/Renesas/VIA user here...

Greets.

    Hi Coolchuck,

     

     

    No updates yet for upcoming drivers. For now, you may force the adapter to be on USB 3.0 connection by configuring the properties of the adapter under Device manager.
