    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).

i have not had the random disconnects on windows 10 with my 6210 BUT i am having trouble getting it to connect using the AC, i noticed today that since i owned this adapter and a nighthawk x4 that it's been using wireless N and not AC, i only noticed this because i bought a steamlink and having bad performance with it and now i know why.
