a6150 connection issue
my a6150 dual wifi adapter is not working. when inserted it is blinking blue slowly but sees no 5G sites. my laptop is running win10. i have uninstalled/re-installed the drivers.
i found one older post which suggested needing to change to "channel 48" but have no idea how to do this.
any suggestions?

Are you sure that there are 5GHz wifi sources near you?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
The A6150 is a USB adapter not one of the General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk and Non-Orbi) routers covered here.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.hi,
thanks for the reply. i now have it running. i reinstalled and then went into device manager/network adapter/netgear a6150 and changed the mode setting from auto to b/g/n/ac. i think the change forced it to look at ac or 5G.
all i know is it's working. you can mark as solved.
