NETGEAR Genie The NETGEAR A6210 is not found?
Hi, I recently purchased a NETGEAR A6210 AC1200 High Gain Wireless USB Adapter, the main issue is that when I tried to install NETGEAR Software "Genie" which it suppose to like update the USB WiFi Ad...
I had the same problem. I have only USB 2.0 but ended up installing the full .exe installer with Genie and could not get past this error until I just went back to the unzipped file and installed the Standalone file and to it to reinstall. I then plugged the device into the usb port and now it recognized the adapter!
Hi DaveinNE,
Download the the .35 software update "Software version 1.0.0.35" to a folder and unzip it. When it is unzipped you will have three files
A6210_v1.0.0.35.exe (this is the genie software)
A6210_v1.0.0.35_Release Notes.html
A6210_v1.0.0.35-StandAlone.exe
The A6210_v1.0.0.35-StandAlone.exe is the usb adapter driver. This is the one I had to reinstall after the Genie update.

HI,
I did the same, but you end up with working drivers and NO A6210 Genie software installed.
Still waiting for an update that will have BOTH drivers and working Genie softwar.
SO in my opinion problem is NOT solved completly, This is just a workaround.

This is the most ridiculous support forum ever.
Mods closing threads and indicating that an issues is solved, is so **bleep** unproductive and unhelpfull.
I've lost more times reading same threads and getting redirected to non-working "solutions" than anything.
Hi All,
Please provide me your contact information.
