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.
Does anyone know a way to get around best buys 14 day return policy.
I thought i was so savvy getting them to price match for the adapter haha, jokes on me, Netgears support really gets the last laugh i guess.
Will be changing companys and disuading anyone who asks from using netgear products from now on.
It has been weeks and the solution given is literally "Reinstall it or something"
Is there any way to get my money back even though im out of the 14 day return period or am I just lighting this adapter on fire and sending it to hell with its drivers?
Netgear, are you working on this?
Or should I just throw in the towel and replace the adapter?
DarkNeuron,
Have you followed the instructions as linked to in post 132?

This process has been tested by Netgear using a variety of computers and found to work in all cases, otherwise it would not have been made publicly available. However as I posted early in this thread, it is very difficult to account for all hardware and software configurations and Netgear recognise that some people may still have issues. The only way that Netgear can work to resolve remaining issues is if people provide some detailed feedback, post 133 for example provides nothing and seems to assume that the instructions are a simple ‘uninstall and reinstall’ process, there is no detail to work with in that post.
Netgear are keen to resolve this issue for all people, and are very willing to work with individuals to nail down specific issues, this can only be achieved if people are willing to provide detailed feedback. Christine has offered to help individuals via PM in post 132, and I will also try to offer that level of help if people want to contact me.
The instructions in post 132 does not work. The "Netgear A6210 WIFI USB 3.0 Adapter" is listed in the Device Manager, but no available networks are shown and the adapter ist not listed in the Control Panel/Network Connections.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-UP4TH with newest Bios and drivers, Windows 10 Pro (Upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro).
