I'm having exactly the same issue. I've tried it on all of the ports on my computer and the adapter was never recognized. I know that every one of those ports works because I've succesfully used them for other devices.
I've tried installing it from both the disk and from a direct download of the drivers.
I'm now connected to the internet and able to using the adapter, but the netgear genie was never successfully completed so I can't find the adapter on my PC.
I'm using a Windows 10 machine, up-to-date drivers.

Hi all,
same here. after Win 10 anniversary update A6210 has not been properly installed and recognized; unlike many others, I have now problems in connecting to my 2.4ghz network, which is up and running, since many other devices use it. 5ghz connection is slow (0,4mbit) for a while, the jumps up to 180mbits, then 0,4 again; mind that I'm on a 500mbit fiber optic connection.
Unistalled, reinstalled, rinsed and repeated dozens of time, with no success.
I've read somewhere else on this forum that a beta driver that "shoud" fix the issues do exists, but I don't find the thread again, since there is plenty of discussion about this HUGE problem.
Netgear, please help!

I am having exactly the same problem. Have uninstalled old version but my pc will not recognize A6210 adapter. Have wifi on my tablet so I know that is definitely working. Help, this is driving me crazy.
