I faced this problem after I installed window 10 on my disk top, before this I had window 7 and no problem. Now after window 10 the netgear 6210 not helping me to connect with wifi
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
I just installed that driver. Although windows 10 wouldn't let me so I had to use admin CMD prompt to get around that.
Hopefully that will solve my problem. Every so often I would only loose my browser connectivity, P2P would still work but I think Steam would go down too. So weird. Anyhow it seems that with this driver I cannot get the 5ghz signal to show up so I am limited to 2.4ghz. Anyone know how to fix that issue?
