Down load CCCleaner and run it after you delete the sw. - soccer0104Aspirantstill nothing, this is kind of annoying, when i put the adapter in a usb slot it blinks 3 times and then nothing after that.
- soccer0104Aspirantwhen i look in my network connections it is there but it is disabled, i try to enable it but it just stays disabled. I am using the standalone driver. I uninstalled everything, went through regedit, and used ccleaner.

- jmizoguchiVirtuosocreate new windows user account with admin right and see if you can get it work.
- spvhjlAspirantWas there any solution to this?? I'm in the same place...:confused:
- BArnyard39AspirantThis sounds dumb as hell, but rotating the top half of the adapter (antenna) 90 degrees was enough to get me up & going.
- cronofamaAspirantI had exactly the same problem. The adapter was not found by the Genie but it was installed by windows. I did not have to clean the register. I restart the PC and that was it. After restarting I was connected.
- GeistNoviceI'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) - macsmakerAspirantThis is ridiculous. Almost $40 and it doesn't work. I get the same thing "The NETGEAR WNA1000M adapter is not found."
Yet WINDOWS finds, WHY CAN'T THE NETGEAR SOFTWARE FIND IT??!?!?!?!??!
