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.
Since Netgear's responded on the issue, I'm giving them some more time.
Netgear has given me acces to a new Beta Driver. I will test and get back to everyone. I spent $70 on this adapter, I was about to run to Microcenter this weekend, but I just can't bring mysellf to throw away $70
I too have installed the Beta Driver (Ver.1.0.0.33) both clean installs with all the associated PC reboots of the Genie version and the standalone version. Neither of these have fixed the connection cycling. I've sent screen shots of the USB 3.0 version, the Netgear driver version, and a debug log recording the cycling connect/disconnect. Hopefully all this information is leading them somewhere positive. It's sad and weird that we (the consumers) have to be Netgears beta testers on a product that has been out for quite a while.
Has anyone tried to update their BIOS (mainly talking to AMD users)? I've got a thumb drive on it's way home, apparently that's the only way to update BIOS other than burning a CD, I'll try to update mine and see if that fixes any of the issues.
