Drivers crash in windows 10

Hi,

 

I've had WNA3100 for some years now and after updating to Win10 I've been having constant problems with the modem. First and foremost the drivers crash at about 10 minute intervals under load. (around 0.7-2.0 MB/s). Some other annoying problem which accompanies this is that every time the Netgear drivers crash, so does the drivers for every other USB-device I have connected.

 

This problem is only present when the modem is connected, so it can't be any of the other devices. Also as a minor note: the computer won't connect to WiFi before logging in.

I've copied over some things from the event manager in hopes that something is relevant, but I genuinly don't know where to start looking....

 

Snippet of the list in event manager:

Feil 19.05.2016 18:49:16 WLAN-AutoConfig 4003 Ingen
Feil 19.05.2016 18:49:16 WLAN-AutoConfig 4003 Ingen
Feil 19.05.2016 17:58:49 WLAN-AutoConfig 4003 Ingen

Automatisk WLAN-konfigurasjon registrerte tilkoblingsbegrensning, og utfører derfor Reset/Recover.adapter.

Kode: 8 0x0 0x0

 

Sorry for the norwegian, but it can roughly be translated to: "Automatic WLAN-configuration registeren connection limitation and there for runs Reset/Recover.adapter".

The code is different on each of the entries

 

Also get these:

Advarsel 14.05.2016 20:16:09 e1iexpress 27 Ingen
Advarsel 12.05.2016 19:09:18 e1iexpress 27 Ingen

Which each say: 

Intel(R) 82583V Gigabit Network Connection
Network link is disconnected.

 

Also found some warnings about : C:\WINDOWS\System32\bcmihvsrv64.dll being stopped.

    Forgot to mention I have around 5000 events like these:

    Advarsel 11.05.2016 23:38:31 NDIS 10400 Ingen
    Advarsel 11.05.2016 23:38:33 NDIS 10400 Ingen
    Advarsel 11.05.2016 23:38:27 NDIS 10400 Ingen
    Advarsel 11.05.2016 23:38:29 NDIS 10400 Ingen

     

    Tilbakestillingen av nettverksgrensesnittet NETGEAR WNA3100 N300 Wireless USB Adapter har begynt. Det vil oppstå et midlertidig brudd i nettverkstilkoblingen mens maskinvaren tilbakestilles.
    Årsak: Nettverksdriveren ba om at den blir tilbakestilt.
    Dette nettverksgrensesnittet har blitt tilbakestilt 2853 gang(er) siden forrige initialisering.

     

    Translated:

    Reset of the network interface NETGEAR WNA3100 N300 Wireless USB Adapter has begun. There will be some temporary stops in the network connection while the machineware resets.

    Cause: The network driver asked for it to be reset.

    This network interface has been reset 2853 times since last initialization.

        James I do not know if you are aware but I have a case open that no one is looking at .... It Clearly shows the a6210.sys file is crashing windows 10 on a regulare base's ..... With the a6210 the Driver is faulty and it does not mater what you do it does not solve the issue ....
