NetGear 3.0 USB Wireless Adapter AC1200 (A6210) LIMITED ACCESS

Hi, I`m having a few issues with this NetGear 3.0 USB Wireless Adapter. I got it working and i`m getting good speeds but it keeps saying in my Network control panel Identifying the network and just keeps spinning and says i have Limited Access. Why does it keep saying this when i have good speeds, how do i fix this? Also i couldn't get it to work with my 3.0 USB ports at all? I tried full Software install from Disc and just Drivers alone, i also tried downloading drivers from Netgear. I`m running Windows 7. Thank You waiting on a reply

  • Hi lextrex,

     

    1. Use the latest driver found in support site. When installing, use the standalone driver.

    2. Turn off antivirus or firewall during installation. Turn it on afterwards.

    3. If still the same, try to install it on a different computer and see if the same problem.

        Hopefully, he returned the netgear product and purchased a competitor brand, one that does not lie and actrually works!
