Hi,   My A6210 does not connect to my router in AC mode. Only in N. I am on Windows 10 x64.   I notice it now because i just got a 1Gb fiber connection and the bandwich is not as it should be. ...

What is your router? Is it set up to use -ac mode on wireless?

    I think OP has already stated that others connect as -ac so it sounds like the network is correctly set to handle the -ac protocol. This sounds like the already known and still unaddressed issue where the A6210 reports back as -n on Windows 10 even when connected to an -ac network. There is supposedly an alpha software patch floating around but this issue seems to be known already by Netgear but not resolved.
