A6210 not being detected and no led light
Hello! I have a problem with my wifi adapter and id like a solution, basically when i had my netgear upgrade my thing didnt work anymore it was not detected, i tried it on my brothers computer and it...
I did try it, and it didnt work in his computer also.
but i already have the solution, seems like it doesnt work om the newest windows 10 update so i u installed that newest update and i did go back to the older versions of windows 10 and it works perfect.
Well you won't believe this. Set my son's new PC up this morning, plugged in the netgear adapter, put in the CD and run the software. 1 minute later all working fine. No hassle no 'can't find the adapter', just worked first time. The driver has been changed and so has the genie software on the CD. So it looks like they have listened to me and Glenn1951 but not told us or thanked us and just updated the software....makes me laugh. We should claim royalties and commission. Lol lol
Anyway. Sons PC working and getting 180mbs download speed so he's a happy 15 year old.
Cheers guys

GREAT!! I'm kind of confused. I just got a message from NetGear to download a beta/ trial version of their software which installs a newer driver and Genie. I don't know if what you installed was the same one that is in the beta/ Trial Version download that they provided me with. If you got it in the store, unless the store pulled ALL the A6210's in stock and put out newer ones it should(?) have been the same one causing all the trouble. Scratching head.
What they sent me today 12/25/16 was a link to a beta version.
IT WORKED FLAWLESSLY!! I actually uninstalled ALL previous versions of Netgear and installed the beta which worked, then uninstalled it and went back to the older version. I ran speed tests on old version and reinstalled the beta / trial version which again installed flawlessly and ran speed tests on it. Virtually the same speeds and I sampled like 5 tests for each ( old and beta).
Also Genie installed magnificently and works fine. Still scratching my head!!
I replied back to them that it looks like they "FIXED" the program problem and thanked them for a job well done!
In all I had installed and uninstalled the beta version 3 times to make sure it was working! Guess we're out of a job?? LOL!!
