A6210 Wireless Adapter Keeps Disconnecting
My A6210 adaptor keeps disconnecting. I am running windows 10, have installed the latest drivers, disabled the "allow windows to turn off adaptor to save power" option and used windows diagnostics to...
Ditto here, but on Win 7 x64.
This morning i couldnt get the A6210 to connect at all, no matter what I did. Always "Limited access", whether using DHCP or static IP. When using static IP, the config never saves the gateway IP (ie save settings>re-open dialog>gateway IP is blank).
I've reverted to an old WiFi adapter which works perfectly every time. It's slower of course, but at least it works...I simply dont have time to continually troubleshoot this piece of junk from Netgear/Mediatek.
..and today, three disconnects using steam so back to best buy; which these are on sale. no thanks...i'm done beta testing $50 usb adapters. good luck all.
Hi Diggo,
The default should be followed on the settings you have provided. Some are optional to configure. The MAX speed is set to 2.0 by default which you can configure to be set to 3.0.
The "Always set U2 mode in ETRON & ASMedia USB 3.0 Host control" is still a known issue as indicated on the release notes.
Hi James
Thanks for responding
I understand U2 Mode is an issue - that wasnt my question. My question was "what is U2 Mode?"
Is it specific to Windows 10? (I'm using Win 7) and is that the reason I cant find the setting parameter?
Is it an abbreviation of USB 2.0?
Hi Diggo,
Let me check on it and I will get back to you.
