Windows 10 (A6100 A6200 A6210) Installation Heads Up
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.
Thanks for that pardeigmas, do you know if it is absolutely necessary to use WPS, is manual configuration not working?
I am done with this company; their customer service is pathetic. I submitted a ticket for these adapter/driver issues we are having and they were lame enough to tell me that my high end adapter that I paid a premium price for is no longer in warranty. They are completely washing their hands of their responsibility to provide functional drivers. Juliet closed my case a day after I opened it which means that I cannot respond or reopen the case because it is closed. In all my years I have not dealt with a company so lame. So long Netgear and good riddance... I hope all of your remaining customers do the same. You do not deserve to be in business...
AJ777 and all others still having issues with Windows 10 drivers, I will pass on your comments to Netgear to point out the strength of feeling being expressed in this thread, I am sure that Netgear will pay attention to your comments.
Thank you, Andy. That would be very much appreciated.
Yeah I've had enough of this issue. Already spent 2 days as I mentioned earlier; 2 days more than any paying customer should have done trying to resolve such a simple issue on that particular machine (AMD FX9370) I might also add. I'm currently looking at purchasing another brand and will henceforth avoid Netgear from now on unless they resolve this very very soon.
