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.
Netgear's Windows 10 Support Page:
JamesGL, yes that is what I posted as well.
Mixed numbers for SETUP an STANDALONE. To make matters worse, that version, 1.0.0.26, is EXACTLY what was on the machine before under W8.1.
I think there is NOT a new version, just possibly is was tested and verified for W10?
One would think if it were a NEW version the version number would have been updated?
I installed it anyway but I'm curious as to what is really is, new or not?
I just want to show you that I got "NETGEAR Support / A6200 / A6200 Software Version 1.0.0.26-1 (Supports Win8.1 / Win10) " and you posted "NETGEAR Support / A6210 / A6200 Software Version 1.0.0.26-1 (Supports Win8.1 / Win10)" which leads to your question if the A6200 adapter can be used for A6210.
Regarding your inquiry if the software version a new one just a modified software that will work with windows 10, I will verify this one and will provide you a feedback.

There are NO DATES on the d/l or the README.TXT, but it appears that the page has been changed again. You see what I originally posted (you copied it above) was both the A6200 and A6210 listed for the driver. Now it IS NOT, only the A6200 is listed in the heading.
In any event, I have install that driver now. I had no problems with the A6200 on Win8.1 and none after the W10 upgrade with the old driver (that I know of at least) and with the new install I've had none so far either.
Still the file postings were confusing since the same version number was used.
I've got an AC1200 and it does NOT work with Win10. I do NOT have an AC6200. THis thread is titled AC1200. Where is the WIN10 driver for the AC1200!?
Hi davelissom,
You may check the support site for the Windows 10 driver.

Community TeamDid, was on an older driver. New one seems to have 2 'new features' that I don't care for?
- WPS button light stays on.
- Always announces via a popup above the Systray on boot that it is connected.
Wife's PC and I've not had a chance to see if there is a way to stop these two, but she sees it and complained.
Seems to work OK though. I did NOT take the Beta version.
Whoops, see that reply was NOT meant for me, but I did update the driver.
