Netgear A6210 - limited access on Windows 7
I recently acquired the A6210 High Gain USB adapter. I have successfully got it to work on Windows 10 as it was automatically recognized. However, on Windows 7 I had to install the Netgear driver and...
Sounds like a problem with Windows.
When I try to connect to a network I get "Limited access".
Where do you see this? Is it the full message? Have you tried the Windows network troubleshooter?
Have you told Windows to treat this connection as "Private" network?
Hi Kasperczak

Please try to set static IP address. Go to Network and Sharing center > Change Adapter settings > Right-click Wireless adapter > Properties > Double-Click IPv4 address > Select Use the following address > input IP address and Gateway in range to your router.

I tried setting a static IP address (which was a good idea) as suggested, but it didn't help. The connection "Wireless Network Connection 4" still says 'Unidentified network' and I am unable to ping anything except the loopback and the host IP that I assigned. I also tried disabling IPv6 but this made no difference.
Any further ideas?
