Bought A6200 to take advantage of new Airport Extreme router. Although software installed and it sees the networks, it won't connect. Yes the passphrase is correct - works on all our kit.
Inbuilt adapter in this Thinkpad is an Atheros AR92xx - which connects at either band to the router very fast (though at n and obviously not ac).
I have tried disabling both the Atheros card and associated Atheros Configuration Service but it makes no difference. Nor did disabling Atheros and installing the Netgear software. The v18 on CD and the 26 downloaded versions of the software behave no differently.
I feel I've wasted my money and can't return it as software CD has been opened...
disable the internal wifi in device manager, then delete all netgear drivers and programs related to A6200. Reinstall A6200 using drivers only option that should let windows manage the WIFI

Hi - I tried this just now. Uninstall, reboot, install standalone from CD. With the standalone driver, Windows recognises the adapter when plugged in. However, it remains unconnected - does not find any wireless networks to connect to (there are at least 10-15 always available here). So end result is actually less progress than using the Genie client which found the networks (just wouldn't connect to them!).
I have renabled the Atheros and will download the standalone v26 beam forming driver and try again just in case that kicks anything into action.
Thereafter I fear I'm going to have to try to return it as unfit for purpose...
