As a heads up, DO NOT install Netgear's driver package for your A6xxx device on Windows 10. It permanently removes Windows 10’s ability to access the WiFi Connections list. Instead, use the defa...
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).
It is the newer version of the driver that came with windows 10 and with it i can join my 5ghz wlan, which wasnt able with the old one!
The chip in the A6210 is a Mediatek MT7612U.
Downloaded the Media tek driver, uninstaled the adapater. Turned off automatic driver installation. Plugged back in, manually selected the Feb 15 Mediatek driver. Still won't connect, hangs after I put in the password. I'm losing my mind over this. Netgear, you need to help.
Lenovo Yoga 11s, realtec single band wifi adaptor
After windows 10 upgrade, A6100 was non functional (had been fine in wiindows 8.1), but stock single band adaptor worked. In Device Manager, right clicked A6100, selected "update driver software", BOTH adaptors crashed, no connectivity!
In device manager I deleted both adaptors, then right clicked on (now empty) Network Adaptors heading, selected "scan for hardware changes", both adaptors installed and functional.
No problems since, have inactivated stock adaptor, A6100 chugging along fine.
Life is good.
