To tell the trurth, junk the device. Buy something different.
Write it off as a bad purchase.
I bought it and now only use it as a backup device (since I bought it)
Has never worked from day 1 under Windows 10.

If you are something Directional edimax ew-7811dac
Cheap, just works, but they do burn out over the months pushing 100GB's.
I do 400GB per month over about 700 meters, 5G, remote backup nightly.
I was hoping the A7000 would be long lasting, but I'm stocking up on the Edi's. Die/replace/forget until it dies.
At $27 it's way cheaper than I paid for the A7000 and the time to relises this is pointless.
Only have to google A7000 for issues.

8-9 months replacement, not the best thing, but it works for the Edimax.
Plus I'm sure I push it beyond the design spec's, but Netgear has the A7000 that doesn't even work?
So what gives Netgear?
