Windows 8.1 Beta Driver

New driver and utility in the Netgear's FTP

ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/A6200/setup-V1.0.0.30-signed.zip

Tried the latest driver release V1.0.0.30 on my Win 8.1 x64 system and I'm getting the same problems as stated above by user monty67t

Coming from the V1.0.0.26 which for me at least has been very stable the new driver once installed seems to work untill a reboot is made and then the adapter disables.

Removed, back to previous stable driver but I'm still left wondering who actually tested this driver out before release.

Still wainting on a release for the R6250 that enables both CPU cores and full memory

[QUOTE= Still wainting on a release for the R6250 that enables both CPU cores and full memory[/QUOTE] I wouldn't hold my breath, They cannot get it working on the r6300v2 either.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try it as well if I will have the same problem.

with latest update from Microsoft A6200 more stable. now it not disappear from system.

but speed with netgear driver about 3-3,5 mb/s

if u want better speed user driver from asus ac-53 with this driver i get speed about 8 mb/s

in windows 7 i get 35 mb/s with asus driver and 3-3,5 mb/s with netgear.

and i user dd-wrt firmware with R6300. stock firmware not give any reliable speed

anyway if u try send big file over wi-fi A6200 die

I was not able to reproduce the same problem. Mine works fine with 8.1 64bit.

Can you please elaborate a little on what you mean by no problems.

I have successfully installed the adapter using the beta firmware available in support site. I have been connected to my network with no disconnection issues. I tried restarting the computer and still connects to the wireless network.

Using the R6200 router.

I used the A6200 adapter with few problems with Windows 8 & 8 Pro, got maximum speeds 866 mbps, distance was good, and no problems connecting. I do use Windows Media Center with Silicondust's HDHomerun Prime (cable card device), and I had pixilation problems with it. I could connect via my Aethos built-in adapter getting 300 mbps and zero picture problems, but that defeats the purpose of the hi-speed adapter, for large file transfers.

However, using it in Windows 8.1, is another story. I can manually connect it, get hi-speed through-put (866 mbps), BUT it will not automatically connect on startup, and though everything else works great once connected, it still has the pixilation problem with Media Center.

I have tried the older drivers and the newest beta driver. This is on an Acer laptop and Acer Iconia W700 tablet.

Any new updates would be helpful
