Netgear A6210 internet drops
So, I just got the Netgear A6210 network adapter for Christmas because I was having problems with my old one and it works great but the only problem is I'm getting internet drops randomly for like a ...
Hi All,
I can confirm that the issue is in the netgear driver.
The Netgear A6210 uses the Mediatek MT7612U chipset.
Using the Medatek driver fixes the issue immediately - available here:

Steps:
1. Download Mediatek driver
2. Uninstall Netgear driver / genie
3. Unplug usb wireless adapter
4. Install Mediatek driver
5. Plug in usb wireless adapter
Extremely frustrating considering Netgear released an update to their driver on 20-Nov and this issue has been ongoing since January.
Cheers
Hi mate I cannot figure this out at all..
I download the software.
I have uninstalled both the genie and the driver, in doing so removes the software.
Install the new Driver.
Connect the genie, but it wont recognize the device and fail to install.
Install using software and reload.
I can only assume it is using the original driver.
This is frustrating alright.
I'm having this problem too on Windows 10... used the Genie software.
I thought it was my internet connection, but the disconnect co-incided with another disconnect to my local network.
What's the status with this?
Sorry mate, I have zero help from anything or anyone on this matter.
No worries - it was more of a poke towards someone from Netgear as I saw that they replied half way through ;)
I've since returned mine in light of this, the disconnects were causing me issues - home worker.
