Help with install please
I installed the driver and when the genie says to insert the adapter i do and i get lights but then i get this error: The NETGEAR A6200 WiFi Adapter is not found. Please Help!!!
I'm having the same issues, I've been completely unsuccessful installing this usb adapter and all the recommended fixes don't seem to work.
What I have tried so far
1) Uninstall Genie and use the standalone install. (CD version of the installer) - Genie stated it was unable to find the adapter after I inserted it.
2) CCCleaner to clean registry before installations and after uninstalls.
3) Alternating USB ports and different USB speeds (2.0 and 3.0 ports)
4) Using the Standalone-V1.0.011-win81_signed.exe - which comes with A6200-V1.0.026-1
5) Restarting after each install.
6) Installation on second machine
The first machines specs
Windows 7 Professional
Service Pack 1
Intel(R) CoreTM i7-2600k
8GB Ram
64bit OS
ASUS Maximus Gene-z Motherboard.
Symptoms:
1) Genie is unable to find usb adapter after its plugged in.
2) With Standalone install wifi adapter appears in Network Connections but remains disabled, attempting to enable fails and adapter remains disabled.
3) Single longer flash from the WPS light on the side, followed by a short flash and then the light remains off.
Any other suggestions ? otherwise I guess I'll be returning it as it cost about $150 (in South Africa)
