Like virtually everyone else here I ran afoul of the v1.0.0.35 driver package in Windows 10. As my A6210 had been working fine before this totally-munged update I really didn't want to shell out personal $$ for a new adapter. Digging through this forum provided resolution.
The recommended steps from jprife dated 2016-12-06 worked. I did not add the genie.
Someone mentioned removing the Netgear driver(s) in Windows. I concur. Get the utility DriverStoreExplorer (https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer/releases) and remove all Netgear adapter driver(s) before following jprife's instructions.

Netgear, it's clear to me you are not reading your own support forum, and especially clear you are ignoring the pleas of many, many people. Although I was able to regain functionality of my adapter after over two hours of research and reconfiguration (a tremendous expenditure of time for something that should have taken mere minutes) I will echo the sentiment expressed by many, and categorically state I won't be buying any more Netgear products. There are too many other companies out there that make good equipment, actually *do* provide continued support for their products, and do it well. Netgear has obviously decided to let their (former) customers twist in the wind.
And by the way... I am a former field service engineer, and have been servicing clients' networks for years. You have not only lost one customer, but every customer I have and will support. All those tens of thousands in sales your indifference has cost you... Think about that a minute.
