AC1200 Windows 10 Driver
Hi, I've read on your drivers support page to check back frequently for an update on drivers for windows 10. Is there any headway on a windows 10 compatable driver for the AC1200 USB Adapter? Tha...
There are Windows 10 drivers for both models A6200 and A6210 USB adapters on each of the respective product's download pages on the Netgear Support site. I assume those are the models you are asking about.

I'm considering getting this adapter. is this issue completely solved with these latest drivers?
Just looked at it, same DRIVER level as the old W8.1 drivers.
Did they make ANY changes or was it just 'certified' for W10? If it was a 'new' version of the driver shouldn't it have a new driver level?
Hi IrvSp,
There is already a new driver for Windows 10. You may check the support site for this.

OK, I am SUPER confused here? Now the subject is AC1200 Windows Driver? I thought before it was AC6200 Windows Driver?
Also the D/L pages are confusing? The AC6200 page:
=============
NETGEAR Support / A6210 / A6200 Software Version 1.0.0.26-1 (Supports Win8.1 / Win10) A6200 Software Version 1.0.0.26-1 (Supports Win8.1 / Win10)A6200 Version 1.0.0.11 for Windows Win 10 32/64-bit, Windows Win 8 32/64-bit, Windows Win 7 32/64-bit, Vista 32/64-bit, XP 32/64-bit

standalone-V1.0.011-win8.1_win10_signed.exeNew Features and Enhancements

=============
Now the AC6210 page:
============
NETGEAR Support / A6210 / A6210 Software Version 1.0.0.32A6210 Software Version 1.0.0.32Software Included
A6210_v1.0.0.32-Standalone.exe.zip

Win XP/Vista 32/64 bits driver version: 5.1.22.0New Features and Enhancements
- New roaming feature enabled
- Improved Wireless performance
===============
Seems to be a different driver.
Driver number doesn't match the package either? Note the first part above, "NETGEAR Support / A6210 / A6200 Software Version 1.0.0.26-1 (Supports Win8.1 / Win10)". that driver is for BOTH the AC6200 and 6210? The AC6200 I have installed under W8 initially and upgraded to W8.1 had the SAME version number?
So my question is/was "has there been any changes made or was it just certified to work with W10?"
Note there are NO dates on the D/L page for either product when the files were produced I can find/see?
