WNA31100M N300 doesn't work on Windows 10
I just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. On my PC I always used a WNA31100M N300 usb wireless mini adapter to connect to the internet as my motherboard has no onboard WiFi connecter.
Now that I've upgraded I can now not connect to any Wireless internet things, they dint even appear in available networks.
Please can someone help me solve this.

I talked to someone from Netgear and they said that the drivers for the WNA3100M N300 that support Windows 10 are not released yet, and that there was no ETA. This means that we have to wait for the new drivers to release before we can acces the internet with Windows 10 and a WNA3100M N300. Luckilly there is an option in Windows 10 that allows you to convert back to your old OS, which is what I did.

So for now the only solution is to downgrade and wait for the drivers to be released by Netgear.

I can't say any answer, but I have the same problem: Yesterday I installed windows 10 (starting from w8.1) and after that adapter
stoped to work. From the internet I found a new "drivers", but registration failed: Must the device re-registration ?
("I got the message that adapter already registrated")
My question now: How to proceed????

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but I have only just seen this.
Is your statement about new drivers (waiting for Netgear) going to apply to the
WNDA3100 family as well, specifically in my case the WNDA3100v2?
