Thanks! That seems to have done the trick.
That was the driver that I had installed but I'm guessing the uninstall/reinstall is what did the trick.
Another benefit is that I'm connecting at a steady 866.5Mbps now. Before it went up and down from about 550 to 720.
Again, thank you for the help.

  Any updates to the driver for this device?
  
  I'm having similar issues when ever the pc (windows 10 64bit) comes out of sleep. Driver for A6210 gets reinstalled again. Also strange wifi connection. Once driver installation has completed, adapter connects to the access point for a second or two, drops connection then reconnects. Finally after al this, the connect is solid. All power management for the a6210 is disabled in device manager.
  
  Is there a newer beta driver for this device? I didn't see anything from mediatek.
  
  Edit: I should add, this is the only device that exhibits this type of device manager and connectivity behavior.

    Not sure if there is a new driver yet but I encourage you to uninstall and try the one above as it worked for me.
