Windows 1607 (anniversary edition) Breaks Adhoc wifi hotspot creation (2)
Because the Netgear rep seems to think my problem fixed, I started a new thread. (admitedly, the original problem WAS fixed) ------------------------------------------------------------ Windo...
HATING to see the 6210 sitting used in a box, I began playing with network setting on my phone and computer.
Running Speed tests and such, wondering about possiblitys with 2 wifi cards.....
For some reason, I plugged in the 6210 and played around with the settings, and my phone WIFI.
All of sudden, I noticed a dramatic bump in download speed with my phone. (The 6210 is faster than the ASUS, cause asus is USB 2
)For some, as of yet unknown reason, the 6210 TOOK OVER my connectify hotspot and WORKS.* OR maybe not.
SOMETHING happened, and my WIFI speed increased, but I have not been able to prove the 6210 IS working.........
While i use the term "ad hoc" what I really mean is I am talking about creating hotspot in "infrastructure" mode, utilizing the built in API in windows 10 to create a hotspot.
BUT if either one will work, it will be better than nothing.
Also, I have seen MANY people being told "it is impossible to create ANY sort of hotspot" with A6210.
This is simply BS. PROOF?
I, like many other people here, have been a life-long NETGEAR customer. From my first firewall back in 2000, to the 6210, 16 years of products.
I purchased this card solely because it said NETGEAR, and up until then, my Netgear experience was always good-excellent.
I paid 70-80 dollars when I could have gotten some way cheaper.
I am not quite ready to give up, but it is close.
Windows WILL upgrade to 1607+, like it or not. MS not longer give you a choice. I must have it working, or else no more netgear for me. Ever.
PLEASE netgear mod, SPEAK
