Netgear a7000 adapter not connecting to pc for drivers to recognize it
I recently got a new pc and have been jumping through the hoops of getting windows 11 installed and I finally have:) but when i switched my machines i still wanted to use my wifi adapter even though ...
The A7000 is an USB (3.0) UPnP device.
In case your PC does have both USB 2.x and USB3.x ports, to differentiate where both types are availble, the later 3.x ones are typically marked with a blue insert while the older USB 2.x tech ones are black.
What does not work when it comes to the uninstallation process?
Very often, there is an uninstall application link at the same loction where those legacy programs are installed:
I dont have a netgear genie folder just a regular netgear folder and i can only remove it with help from the drivers itself
If the Genie program was installed on your new Windows 11 system the files as shown almost certainly exist.
As you are operating a decent Windows OS (newer than the legacy 30 ... .11, 7) there is no reson to use these utilities.
Still confused why you think you have to uninstall the A7000 drivers.
Does the A7000 not show up in the Windows Device Manger?
To open Device Manager:
- Press the Windows logo key and the R key simultaneously. This should open a Run Box.
- Type: devmgmt.msc.
- Click OK or press the Enter key.
Device Manager opens.
