A6200 Disconnecting on Windows 10
Im having an issue with the A6200 Wifi Adapter on windows 10, it will work for an intermittent amount of time (usually 5-10min) then completely disconnect, only showing my network when i click on the...
- Anyone having trouble with Netgear Wireless AC6200 dropping out intermittently after upgrading to Windows 10, here is a possible solution:1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Change Plan Settings\Change Advanced Power Settings;2. Expand Wireless Adaptor Settings\Power Saving Mode and make sure it is set to "Maximum Performance";3. Expand USB Settings\USB Selective Suspend Settings and change Setting to "Disabled".This worked for me and YMMV, but I hope this helps avoid the weeks of frustration I've just gone through..
You know, that's the best advise I've heard so far.
Obviously, nothing is really happening through this channel as to corrective actions. Just a lot of try this-try that-do this-do that. It is tiresome, and time consuming.
The obective is to ramp up the drivers for those devices which are in (or have been) in the market for some time.
This can only speak to the bottom line. NetGear has obviously had a major shift in strategy. Where it will land is anyone's guess. It certainly isn't in the device market.
Routers and NAS seem to be the strategic focus, just nothing that'll connect (consistently) with them. I was looking at one of their high-end NAS boxes (6 bay/dual connection/high capacity) and because they can't seem to care for the devices they sell, why should I bother with their high end stuff? Already placed an order for an alternate device that'll house and host my needed data storage for my purposes.
It is jus a strategic shift for me too. When my router goes (R7000), so does my connection with NetGear. It'll be another device that will fall by the wayside as did the devices I'd like to connect to it.
Bottom line, if they can't take care of the little stuff, it also means that the big stuff suffers and is unlikely to work as expected.
Sad because I've been a NetGear user for more than 10 years. Such is the way of things now a days. :(
Oh, yea - one thing I didn't mention.
I'm already looking for a high-end replacement to my R7000. I'm focused at the moment on the ASUS RT-AC5300. Need the throughput (now) and the distance (now) and the penetration (now).
Because of this one little thing (A6200), like the other person posting his move away from NetGear, this long time user of NetGear is going to keep to his word.
This really is a sad day as a once great company begins its decline into obscurity.
I am having disconnecting issues as well, groomed all of the support suggestions both on this site and on the web. I even chatted with somebody for 20 minutes who had NO additional insight. This is a pathetic product and the support is even worse. What is Netgear's plan to resolve this? I would like an answer or I am returning my adaptor and will begin writing all the executive team. Unacceptable.
Hi aim54x,
Please provide me a screenshot of the Genie for the 5Ghz connection that shows N and not AC.
James,
I have just downloaded and reinstalled Genie (A6200 V1.0.0.35) to get this screenshot. It is still not stable for me. I have been using a D-Link DWA-140 (N150) for a long time now in hope that this software issue can be fixed and I can go back to using my A6200.
