NETGEAR A6210 WiFi USB3.0 Adapter Connection Speed Still 54Mb/s Argggh!

I have installed software version 1.0.0.36 as recommended on this forum, I have set the USB Speed to 3.0 in the Advanced tab, I have disabled the NetgearUSBSwitch process from Start-up, and probably a few other things too which escape me at this hour, but I still only get a slow 54Mb/s connection speed.

After the installation of the software v1.0.0.36 the connection speed did go up to 144Mb/s and all was good, but the next start up of my PC and all back as it was.

Any suggestion would be gratefully received as I'm just about to purchase another manufacturers Wi-Fi Adapter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Sorted the issue with the USB2 port speed last night by uninstalling Genie and the drivers for the A6210 manually. Then used the standalone driver pack.

Hi Ben_Binks_2012,

Uninstall the driver with Genie and try installing the standalone driver.

  Thanks but I have already tried this numerous times. Like I said, I had everything done and working, shutdown the PC, started back up a while later, and the message came up again telling me the device can perform faster.........so I checked and sure enough 54Mb/s. Wounded haha

    Hi Ben_Binks_2012,
    
    Do you have another computer? Try to install it and check if the same error.
