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
