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........
Tired of waiting for updates that don't work anyway.
I think TEN (10) MONTHS was a reasonable time to wait for a fix, RIGHT?
Never AGAIN will I BUY NETGEAR.
I purchased an ASUS USB AC53 nano.
(realtek chipset)
WORKS PERFECTLY, all windows versions, all modes!
$40USD
I've been having this nightmare for the past few days. Finally was able to get a fix. My drivers for the A6210 are the 0.35 Netgear standalone drivers. I have confirmed my 5ghz connection is working on Windows 10 Pro 64bit with no dropping.
I managed to get this working by going to: https://www.slimwareutilities.com/slimdrivers.php and installing SlimDrivers free. After installing and running a scan, it seemed my drivers for Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 8ACA2 and Intel(R) Management Engine Interface needed to be updated.
Here are a few other details for the NETGEAR driver installed.

Nice Ad
Not an ad. It's completely free and solved my issue.
If you say so.
I only want official driver on my system, or drivers from the chipset maker.
All the Intel drivers you need can be auto install via Intel's own program.
The other drivers, (GPU,WIFI, ETC) can be easy found and installed manually (Except NETGEAR of course)
