A7000 USB Adaptor cannot see or detect any network SSID after SLEEP Mode
I was able to install the Netgear Genie and drivers for the A7000 on my Toshiba i7 laptop. My Toshiba is an older but reliable laptop and I wanted faster connectivity.
The initial installation...
UPDATE: After rebooting, Netgear Genie would see my SSIDs. However, it was not able to connect to the 5G port. There were no errors indicated and switched to the 2G. So all along I thought I was on 5G but on scrutiny after writing this subject, that is what I found.
I did get on a chat with Tech Support. The tech recommended and I did the following:
1. Remove the drivers and reinstall the entire package.
2. Change the port number(s) of the 5G Wifi - I was hesitant to do this because it had nothing to do with connectivity as all other 5G devices - iPads, MacBook Pro, iPhones, Roku boxes were working fine.
So here I am back to square ONE - Netgear Genie still cannot see the SSID's after SLEEP mode.
Any suggestions - willing to try your luck?
