Having memory leak with A7000 driver version 1.0.0.11

Hi I am currently having some major driver leak errors originating from the A7000 drivers version 1.0.0.11. I had seen in a previous thread someone was having similar issues being reported by poolmon...

yeah I've had the same issue. I usually keep my PC on and has leaked ~2GB in about 3 days. It's been up to ~5GB when I've had it on for weeks.

 

I know it is because I can uninstall the A7000 driver and the memory is freed.

    Hi Rattl3r and chid

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Do you have NETGEAR Genie installed? 

    Have you tried installing the stand-alone driver version?

      Yes I have tried both ways with all 3 driver versions avaliable on your support tab for the A7000
