When I upgraded to Win 10 I first could not detect my 5ghz network and then when I tried re-installing the software I could not get my 2.4 ghz to work. No light, no nothing no internet. Seems Netgear could have seen this coming? What can I do to get back on the internet? Please help?

This has happened at every successive version of windows - the adapter wouldn't work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, same with upgrade to Windows 8.1 from 8, and now it seems that Netgear has done it again. I tried installing the drivers from the site, but if you look at the date on the driver following install, its a year old (Dated 6-6-2014) - which means it was not intended to work with Windows 10. The driver package is even called Win_8. What I fully expect to happen is that within a week or two Netgear will post a new driver package and then blame the whole fiasco on Microsoft--which has been their response for the past two upgrade fails.

This user has found a workaround - it essentially involves removing the default driver from version 13 of the software from Realtek that is being loaded and replacing it with another driver. Version 13 of the Netgear software is http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/WNDA4100#searchResults

Control Panel --> Device Manager --Network Adapters --> Netgear WNDA4100 --> Right Click -- Update Driver Software -- Browse my Compuiter -- > Let me Pick from a List of device drivers on my computer -- > Then use the driver marked Netgear (second in the list), DO NOT use the one marked as Realtek as it is what is causing the problem. After installing the new driver, you may need to reboot but this worked for me.
