WNDA3100v2 Region Change

Ever since I bought this N600 WiFi Dual Band USB Adapter I had trouple with the connection

to my home network. One day it works fine, another day it doesn´t work at all. I have the newest

version of the Netgear genie 2.2.0.5. Today I found another clue why it may not work.

I moved over here from Germany and have a german version of Windows on my PC.

The Adapter I bought here in the USA where I´m living now. In the software under

Other-Region it says Europe. Does anybody know if this could be the cause of my

Problems and how to change the Region to USA?? I´m downloading the software

by selecting US, the Adapter is bought in the US, but for some reason it only recognices

Region: Europe. I´m guessing it´s because of my german Windows. Any solution I

would highly appreciate.

    Hi McGoo01,

     

    Welcome to Community!

     

    Were you able to download the driver for US? Or can you only see driver for Europe region? Please provide the link of the download page.

     

    Regards,

      Hallo JamesGL,

       

      here is the link for the download:

      I found a solution for my problem. I bought a TP-Link WiFi Range Extender TL-WA850RE, and with this one

      the connection works fine. So, my logical explanation would be: The cause of the problem is the Arris-TG862-Router

      from Brighthouse. But every other wireless device works great with the router, even from the same location. So,

      I don´t know. At least I have a functioning system now.

       

           Regards,

        Hi McGoo01,

         

        Would it be possible to install it on a different computer  and check if it has the same problem.
