The chip in the A6210 is a Mediatek MT7612U.
Download the driver now, don't install it. Save it to your desktop or elsewhere you well know where it's at. Then do all the steps.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, my daughter already uninstalled the drivers per the instructions from a previous post. Do we have any options for downloading the needed drivers other than moving and connecting her computer to an Internet connection using an Ethernet cable? Thank you for your help.

The range extender is used exclusively for connecting the wired devices. I have disabled
the wireless functionality on the extender.
