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 ...
It has got to be a driver. I have the A6200 and it was flawless on Win7. I upgraded to 8.1 and it has been horrible. Tech support is terrible. they even had the gall to tell me that it was my computer's fault (i.e. Microsoft).
Most recently, they decided to send me a brand new one...guess what? Same problem. It will drop the connection and disappear from the network control panel. It stands to reason the 6210 and 6200 are having the same problem due to the driver but Netgear doesn't want or is incapable of fixing it:mad:.

I'm glad the A6210 works great in your Windows 7 Pro. It doesn't work worth a damn in Windows 7 Home. It constantly drops internet connection when web browsing or downloading files. Most current driver is installed. I know I lose connection when the browser just spins its wheels and nothing happens The A6210 Genie verifies it with a red globe. When this happens, quickly checking the Devise Manager will show no A6210 adapter. This problem resolves itself in about 10 to 15 sec. but constantly reoccures. Has to be the driver. I diffinitely give a thumbs down on this adapter and the company for releasing it.
Hi Dmos,
Welcome to Community!
When you installed the A6210 driver, did you use the standalone driver or with the genie? If it is with the genie try to uninstall it and reinstall using the standalone driver.
