I eventually got this working by using the driver only install with Windows 7 compatibility. Using version 1.1.0.20

Tried these methods but still the adapter is not recognized. Returning it to office supply store which is still selling this inworkable model for Win 10?

    Hi All,

     

    The driver of the adapter only supports upto Windows 8.1. I'm glad some were able to make it work with Windows 10 but if it does not work then that is expected.

      Win 8.1 driver does not work for me on Win 10.

       

      There is one listed for the non mini version - WNA1000, that also does not work.

       

      So I had to spend $40 on a new wifi adapter. Mentioning this for others who keep trying to get the 8.1 to work and cannot...you are not alone, it does not work. There is no supported driver from Netgear.
