Your newest, supposedly Win 10 compatible driver, is not Win 10 compatible. My A6200 adapter was working fine until I upgraded to Win 10. Now it is completely dead. The firmware is updated, and I have tried all Win compatibility options. I have tried all A6200 drivers. I have even tried the A6210 driver as recommended by a member of this forum. The blue connect light never illuminates. I have used the standalone and non drivers. Nothing works. Numerous others are having the same problem in this forum. When are you going to provide a driver that actually works with Win 10? Also, why would you release a Win 10 driver when it is obviously not compatible with Win 10? My confidence in Netgear products is at an all time low!
I used the download from the netgear support page for " A6200 - Win 10 Beta Software" and at least my adapter works with some intermittant drops. When it does stop connecting I just remove the adapter and reinsert it, then reconnect (still a pain but better than nothing). Try that.

Thanks. Yes, I tried that numerous times with all available drivers, standalone and non. My A6200 was just dead. The blue light never came on and the LinkSys Genie or Microsoft WLan could never initialize it. Thankfully I made a restore point before I tried reinstalling the A6200 drivers to eliminate the dropped connections after my Win 10 upgrade. My A6200 is now initializing but Win 10/the A6200 seems to be creating havoc on my WiFi. I am now regularly having to reset my router to restore reliable connections which I have only had to do maybe once a month in the past (now several times daily). Win 10/the A6200 has some serious WiFi corruption issues but I cannot pinpoint what is going on. I wish Netgear would get their crap together. I cannot believe they are leaving us hanging like this. None of their Win 10 drivers are even close to being released to the public. I am so flipping sick of the incompetence of today's software and hardware manf's. It seems that everything on the market is in a prerelease/beta state even though it is pushed out to the masses. The flipping A6200 has been out for years and they still cannot get it right and don't even get me started on the issues with the lameness of the LinkSys Genie. Sorry, lol, I'll stop ranting now. I only hope that I do not have to update my A6200 driver before they release a reliable driver. My A6200 would obviously be completely unusable again. My only option would be to roll back to Win 7 to use my A6200. That would be completely ridiculous.
Take a look in your event log and see if you can see what I see, as I have posted about this problem as well. Right click Start > Event Viewer. Navigate to Windows Logs > System. Does the event 10400 come up? I don't have a solution yet, as the event appears to be related to a driver signaling a restart for some reason.
No, I'm not seeing a 10400 but when I did a system restore it may have removed all data after the restore. Sorry. This is such a pain. My cdrom players are now giving me problems as well, and PowerDVD will not play any DVDs, Blu-rays or m2ts files. It's always been a dysfunctional player though. I will never buy another license for any of their products ever again. I'll never forgive myself for buying the last one but I got into a bind and needed what I thought was a reliable player to troubleshhot some issues; was I ever wromg. HP lists no new drivers for Windows 10 and what Asus is providing is not beneficial. This Windows 10 push is the lamest I have experienced in 30 years from Microsoft. It's like they are turning all of their customers worlwide into their beta testers. This is so flipping pathetic. Every time I turn around I'm finding something else that is not working. Sorry for the rant... Good luck with your issues.
I am done with this company; their customer service is pathetic. I submitted a ticket for these adapter/driver issues we are having and they were lame enough to tell me that my high end adapter that I paid a premium price for is no longer in warranty. They are completely washing their hands of their responsibility to provide functional drivers. Juliet closed my case a day after I opened it which means that I cannot respond or reopen the case because it is closed. In all my years I have not dealt with a company so lame. So long Netgear and good riddance... I hope all of your remaining customers do the same. You do not deserve to be in business...
I'm with you on this one AJ777. Netgear has been less than helpful and the community is dying because of all of the requests for fixes on the same issue. The other problem is that I have presented irrefutable proof that the issue is caused by their driver. Of course, Netgear is going to say, "You're device isn't in warranty, we'll have a driver out when we have a driver out." Considering that issues such as these have been plaguing their devices since Windows 8, I'm not surprised. Hey, Netgear, here's a wakeup call, anyone who bought your adapters since Windows 8 are out of warranty! We put our faith in solid solutions and get ignored because you already have our money. Who runs your financial department, Floyd Mayweather? Good riddance to you, I will always warn against your products, and even more so your company to anyone who even considers wireless equipment!
I am sorry the experinece you have had with the adapters and upgrading to windows 10 we are working to fix these issues. we are collecting information from the community about all the problems and also we have some solutions that could fix your issues please take a look at this thread and post your info on the problems you had with the upgrade so we can fix this.
I've had the same experience as many others. I got the invite to upgrade to Windows 10. My system was "supposedly" compatible. The only problem was that after I downloaded Windows 10, the install couldn't complete because the Netgear driver wouldn't work! I even took my computer into tech support Geek Squad and my Netgear wireless adapter worked fine until I tried to enter my WEP security code at home and it refused to accept it. I could see available networks, but I couldn't log in to my own home network.. After a week of trying I gave up a rolled back to Windows 7 and everything worked fine. Netgear needs to fix this and make it public so people won't have to go thru what I did.
does anybody have any recommendation for a non netgear adapter that worls with win 10. If I do not find a solution rapidly, I will make sure I never buy another Netgear product. How could they not have solved such a problem!
