A8000 no connection
Hi, I buy and have an A8000 (AXE3000) wifi USB adapter that I want to use in conjunction with my Nighthawk M6Pro when my ethernet Internet connection is not working. My Desktop PC runs on Windows 10...

I get a message that the driver program of A8000 needs to be updated while I can't find an update anywhere at Netgear.
Message from what? Windows?
If I disable the Ethernet connection I get no internet connection with the A8000.
Why would you do that? There is n bo need to switch off the LAN in Windows to use wifi.
I was expecting an application with the A8000 where I could make a selection in wifi access points. So I don't understand how to get visible wifi access points visible in some application.
Windows does that. Network & Internet settings
