New A6200 doesn't connect after restart.
Hi Guys, Having issue with A6200 not connecting after restart, i have to take it out and plug it back up then it reads it. Is this normal or is there a fix for this? thanks in advance
I have been working with Netgear support on this issue. I bought a lot of these cards for my company and many of the users are reporting issues with the cards loosing connections. The users have to unplug and re-plug the cards to get back on the network. So fare Netgear support has not come up with a solution. We are running HP hardware on Win7 32 Pro. When the cards connect the do great after you tune the PC and the settings in the Netgear card.
I did set the power to max, disabled power management on the card, also modified the Windows power profile to always have power on for USB devices. This helped, because Windows makes poor decisions about saving power. I could tell when Windows reduced power to the card because I would see retransmits and other network errors in the trace. BUT, changing these power settings did not improve the situation with the card not reconnecting to the PC. I’m glad it helped you, but I get these cards to stay connected to the PC.
