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.
Thought I would share my positive experience. Windows update must have broken my Windows 10 A6200 as well. It was working fine after the upgrade and suddenly decided to stop connecting after a month. Here's what I did to fix it.
1. Install the latest Beta driver as of 9/5/15
2. It worked BUT download speeds seemed to be capped at 300k.
3. To fix this I right clicked the wireless icon in the systray (bottom right of screen), and went to "Open Network and Sharing Center"
4. On the left side click "change adapter settings"
5. Right click the wireless adapter, go to properties
6. Click Configure
7. Select the "Advanced" Tab
8. Scroll down to "AP Compatibility Mode"
9. Change it to "Broader Compatibility"
This resulted in my download speeds going immediately from 300k to 2000k (my limit usually).
I have an Edimax AC1200 wireless router. Don't know if there is some compatibility issues, but it fixed my problem nicely!
Hi ohbilly. Where did you get the latest beta driver for A6200? 1.0.0.35 version just not working for most people.
