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
This may not be the answer some of you want but a fix for this is to create a batch file and run it at start up using task scheduler at logon.
This batch file disables and reanables the adapter after 5 seconds. The ping command acts as a pause. You may need a longer pause.
I changed my adapter name so you'll need to get the name off of you system and make the appropriate changes.
Hope This Helps!
@echo on
netsh interface set interface "NETGEAR A6200 WiFi Adapter #2" DISABLED
ping localhost -n 6 > nul
netsh interface set interface "NETGEAR A6200 WiFi Adapter #2" ENABLED

This WORKED! I needed my son's help to write the batch file and walk me through creating a task to run at startup, and had to do this as Administrator (and tick the box to run the task with highest priority), but, upon re-start, the adapter connection to the router and the Internet worked!
In my lay understanding, the set of commands is the equivalent of unplugging the adapter and re-plugging it in, which is what we have all had to do to get this A6200 to work.It is a nuisance that I had to go through this, but the good news is that the procedure works.
Thank you!
