NETGEAR genie A6200 problems; Red light appears and wont go away on the adapter.
Hey there everyone!
My name is Ben and i bought a custom PC on ebay. The thing is that it was custom built and could not connect to the internet the regular way, so he sent me a D - link, unforuntally that didnt work and then sent a A6200 Netgear product, it was working fine till it started disconnecting and connecting into random (But same connection proxy servers). I did not understand that to i just Un-installed everything and re-installed it. It stopped disconnect/connecting but now the adapter light is Red and doesnt change. I have AT&T UVERSE or something like that .
P.S. This is how i installed it.
Uninstalled everything
Went to Netgear set up, downloaded the driver
Restarted my PC
Opened Netgear Genie and manually connected using WPS
Thats it ~~
Here is more info !!
