4b. From Device Manager / Network Adapters choose scan for hardware changes

I followed those steps from the link you provided (thanks for that BTW) and everything looked good - it found the A6210 USB, picked the adapter, pointed it to the folder where the new driver is and installed.
When I right-click on the adapter in device manager the driver listed is still listed from 4/21/15 & it still lists it as a "802.11ac Wireless LAN card.
