R6100 Driver Not Installed

I have not been getting any responses to my inquiries on here.... I hope I get a response to this one. Netgear ... are you listening? R6100 Router. Windows 7 sp1 64 bit. When I go into Windows Device Manager the R6100 is flagged with an error icon... yellow triangle with an exclamation mark embedded. The error is: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". My software packages cannot connect to the internet for activation although my browsers work fine. They all say "You are not connected to the internet". Windows very clearly wants this error rectified. Where can I get a driver for Windows 7 sp1 64 bit for the R6100?

       Do you mean this?:

    And you thought that starting another thread for the same problem would
    help rather than distract?

       Generally, Netgear does its listening here:

       That's one interpretation.

       If such a thing existed, then Windows Update probably would have
    found it.

       Whatever your actual problem might be, you're looking in the wrong
    direction for a solution.
