    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.

Any update for a6200 owners? Same problem as everyone else regarding constant, random connectivity drops. Unplugging and plugging back in temporarily solves the issue. A lot of chatter popping up in event viewer during these network drops, listed as event 10400. If anyone has a work around, I'd love to hear it. This is getting extremely frustrating, and netgear phone support has been pretty unhelpful.
