WNA 3100 Windows 10
Hey, i want to share my internet connection with my wlan adapter(did it on win7 want to do it again on windows 10 now)... it sadly does not work probably because my driver is not compatible with windows 10...
i checked on this site http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29490/~/netgear-product-support-for-microsoft-windows-10 and if i click on the wna3100 it leads me to this site http://support.netgear.com/product/WNA3100 where it says :"software Version 2.2.0.4 (Supports Win10)", so i tried to update the drivers, i uninstalled the old ones and then run the setup file, but then i get told to plug in the wlan adapter and to click okay next ... then i plug it in, click okay and it starts searching but can't find it, after a minute (roughly) it says that the netgear wna3100 adapter was not found...
Since it was connnected by the time i upgraded from windows 7 to 10 it probably is the same reason for the problem as here http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29802 and i think the steps to solve it are also (almost) the same, the problem is that my adapter is not found by the installation file...
Any ideas what i can do ?

Hey,
Yes i do see it in the device manager and there it says that the adapter works fine... it also shows the driver version 1021.0.716.2012 from 2012 as the latest driver.
Hope you can help!
