A6200 Experience
Bought the A6200 from Best Buy about 2 weeks ago. I wish I had a great experience normally I speak very highly of Netgear and its products this one is not the case what so ever.
I have decent speeds since I am connected to a N600 connection but it doesnt last long what so ever. After about 10 mins of any file transfer it will go instantly into Limited or No Connectivity. I have tried every troubleshooting step known with no luck what so ever. The only way that I have found to fix the issue is to do a full reboot of Windows 7 and then it works. Logging Out of Profile and Re-Logining in does not wor. Disable, Re-Enable device hangs. Using the Software provided also fails. I have reinstalled Windows, I have returned the Product and tried yet again and still same results. I have even borrowed a friends router and still the same.
I feel as if I am the only one with this issue, when will the next set of drivers for this A6200 be released?

Re: A6200 Experience
I was able to get it to play nice with Outlook but when I reboot with the adapter plugged in it won't let the Microsoft Security Essentials service or the adapter service start. It shows up in the device manager but doesnt work even if I unplug and plug it back in. I have tried with both the Genie software and the bare windows drivers. If I reboot without the adapter plugged in then plug it in, it works great, until it fails at random as described above. I swapped adapters between the two computers and spent the last 8 hours trying various settings on the adapters and the USB settings and have not found one that will work. The settings on both computers are identical. Since both adapters work fine on one computer but not the other (both were built by me) it obviously has to be either a setting or firmware incompatibility but I can't find any settings that work.
I noticed it has been a couple of months since anyone has posted here so I was hoping maybe one of you found something? I had found that some people were experiencing issues using Nvidia chipsets and the PC I am having the problem with is an Nvidia 790iSLI chipset, the other is an intel chipset.
Anyone seen any other ideas or have any other input? Perhaps from someone at Netgear that may be able to steer us in the right direction?

Re: A6200 Experience
I've through all of the entry level questions so I'm going to go straight to the fixes that dont work.
I've installed the standalone drivers and windows can use those drivers to connect the A6200 to my R6300 netgear router. But the A6200 WON'T connect to the G freq no matter what I've tried on both the PC end or the router end.
Unistalled the stand alone and tried the "genie" and the install software can't find the A6200
This is not rocket science.
I can plug in 3 different models of linksys wireless adapters and they ALL connect flawlessly.
I've been though the whole install uninstall twice with online support and have even installed the software and A6200 on a different computer and it still doesn't work.
Anyone have a ray of sunlight on this thing?
Thanks in advance

Re: A6200 Experience
Having the same issue.
Unplugging and plugging it back in solves it for a bit.
It was happening off an on with Windows 7. Since I've upgraded to Windows 10 it happens a ridiculous amount of times. And as Netgear is finally aware, their firmware update for Win 10 is broken.
This is infuriating! I need my hardware reliable for work.
I've purchased some power-line adapters and will be staying clear from Netgear wifi-adapters.
Not worth the terrible experience.

Re: A6200 Experience
Hello BennyTm and Shalverson
When you upgraded did you uninstall your drivers for the 6200 and reinstall the windows 10 drivers? if not i would suggest removing all the drivers and doing a reinstall of them and when doing this remove the 6200 and wait untill you have all the drivers installed. Also make sure you have your PC drivers up to date for your usb ports. Hope to hear your feedback
