Netgear A6210 AC1200 wifi adapter

    Hello folks, Just upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 and now get errors when trying to activate AC1200 adapter. Do I need to download new firmware? Problem is I can't without internet so I guess ...

    OK 

    Figured it out

    Need to first clik "REMOVE" to remove all existing adapter software in computer

    Then clik install to install software

    then plug in the adapter 

    then choose wifi and enter password

     

    Whew, that was annoying but glad it works now...

Dear Plemans,
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I reinstall software from Netgear and still does not work. 
As soon as I select my wifi for the adapter I get  Windows "blue screen" error:
"Stop code: page fault in now paged area.
What failed: A6210.sys"
 
Identical thing is happening to two PC's I have, each with its own AC1200 adapter.
