Connects with 802.11n not 802.11ac
I am using a Netgear R6200 router with an A6200 usb adapter on Windows 8 64-bit in the 5GHz band, and it connects using 802.11n. I cannot find any options for using 802.11ac and in the A6200 WiFi Adapter properties I don't even see a reference to 802.11ac.
Does anyone know what I setting I need to change to get 802.11ac?

Make sure you are connected on 5Ghz only
As I mentioned in the original post I am using 5GHz.
Anyone have any ideas?- Did you test at closer range if it is connected at 5Ghz?
- I have tried different locations (same room) and it doesn't change. Only connects using n.
- what is the Max Mbps you are getting?...
- About 85 Mbps
- Try the adaptor in a different PC.
- Look there TRD #11:
http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=81326&page=2 - I don't have another Win 8 machine to test on. I also looked at the suggested thread and the Enable WMM is checked. Is there a way to turn off 802.11n?...or only allow 802.11ac connections?
- All protocol is supported 802.11ac
A/N/AC
You can not change just to accept 802.11AC only
