While doing the uninstall try following this procedure:
1. uninstall driver and software
2. unplug the usb device
3. reboot the computer
4. install the driver (and software if you prefer, you can just install the stand alone drive and let windows manage the software if you prefer)
5. plug the usb device in.
Did you do it this route?
If you log into your router (which is what?), does it show on the connected devices page?
All your other devices are still working?
- FrantelleSep 19, 2019AspirantNo I didn’t do it exactly like that, just uninstalled everything inserted the CD and re installed. Shall I do it that way? Also I’m logged in on my router, but can’t find connected devices.. and yes my wifi is working on my phone, PS4 etc.

I would do it the way I suggest. Also don't use the cd. download the software from netgear's support site I linked to. Just use that.
You don't put what router you're using so its hard to tell you where your connected pages would be. Its manual should have it. But if you can log into the router from the computer running the A6100, its working. Just something is a slighly off.
Try the reinstall and reboot your router as well.
