A6200 Unable to connect 5ghz band Help!
Hello everyone, i have owned my R6200 and A6200 for over 6 months now and never had any problems untill today.
After turning on my computer i am unable to connect to my R6200 with my A6200 adapter to the 5ghz band.
Only the 2.4ghz band works but as we all know it can be around 2-3x slower!.
I have tried these so far to now success;
1. Reseting R6200 Router and setup all my PW and network names again
2. Troubleshooting A6200 adapater on my pc in room via windows 7 support.
3. Unistalled A6200 driver and let itself reinstall them automatically.
4. Disabled and renabled A6200 connection to try connect automatically
5. flush winsock with CMD in admin mode.
6. Ran in safemode incase of virus or software issues
Anything else i can do, this is killing me, i miss my AC speed and have no idea if its the R6200 which has the band problem or the A6200 adapter. Or if its another issue intirely
Thanks

Verify A6200 is set to 5g.
Call for 6200 RMA if under warranty
And PAY to send back a device that NETGEAR already KNEW was defective. And they will send you another one they KNOW is defective.
Have fun.

Installing the update KB 2919355 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) suddenly got it working for me, was unable to ever get it to work previously with a D6300 router. I'm using the .30 Win 8.1 beta driver.
Have got other issues though......
