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.........

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.

Hi all,
I have checked this with the team and this issue is with windows and not with NETGEAR. Please check the link below.

There is NOTHING new in that link. Read and reread the dozens of "cant hotspot" posts and you will see this has been tried over and over.
Seeing "answers" like that make me question both your intelligence and computer eductation. Are you getting a pay check for this???
We all know Windows is crap, but the quailty of drivers for this product is terrible.
I strongly feel, is netgear releases just a AVERAGE quality driver, it will overcome the windows problems (if any)
Right now, NONE of the drivers work. (35 and below)
PS Where is the FIRMWARE update you talked about in a post a while ago?
PPS How about a BETA DRIVER? I hear you have one
THANKS
