For problems with the windows 10 included driver with the a6210 (e.g. no 5ghz networks visible) just use the latest driver from mediatek (5.1.21.0).

Are we going to make excuses for the biggest conglomerate on not staying on top of their driver database? 10 has been out for close to 6 months now. The OS didn't even bother seeing it as new hardware until I went into device manager. I'm just saying that its not 100% Netgear and its justified in saying the communication was lacking in this release.
