Netgear A6200 Windows 10 - 5 GHZ problems
I have problems with my adapter finding the 5 GHZ signal from my AT&T router. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I have tried going into Device Manager, Netgear A6200 Properties, Advanced........

Hi luisgo98,
1. How far is the adapter from the router?
2. What is the driver version of the adapter?

Hi James, sorry for not responding earlier. The adapter is in my home office, the router is in the family room. I would say the distance is about 35-40ft.
Sometimes it detects it; sometimes it doesn't.
I'd also tried moving the adapter next to the router and it still can't detect it, so it might not be a distance problem.
Right now it detects the 5ghz signal after a few days that it couldn't.
I also tried to restart the router, computer, etc. and those things don't seem to fix the problem.
