After downloading this driver, the adapter and genie stopped working after downloading new drivers. I don't remember how I got to this point, but my genie was uninstalled hoping if I reinstalled it, everything would be fixed. Not the case, when I tried to reinstall it, it couldn't find my adapter. Therefore, I couldn't get the genie to work or install new drivers on the website. I've searched through forums and videos, tried the device manager thing and still no luck. Any ideas?
Model: A6210|AC1200 High Gain Antenna WiFi USB Adapter
James, thanks for the help. I've been in touch with a Level 2 Support Engineer who sent me a Trial Beta Version of the software which he hoped would fix the problem. Unfortunately, it didn't, and I sent him reply this morning with a screenshot of the "not detected message." However, I did find this procedure on another thread that DOES work for me, which I'll share below:
1. Run the file: A6210_v1.0.0.35 and as usual wait for the 'Plug in your adapter' message.
2. When you get the 'Adapter not detected', click Cancel
3. Leave the adapter plugged in, do not remove it and go to Device Manager.
4. Under Network adapters you will see: 802.11ac Wireless LAN Card
5. Double click on this and goto the Driver Tab.
6. Click on 'Update Driver'
7. Now choose 'Browse My computer for Driver Software'
8. Now click, 'Let me choose from a list of device drivers on my computer'
9. Choose Netgear A6210 Wifi usb 3.0 adapter and click Next. The driver will be installed
10. Close down device manager.
11. Go to your wifi / internet iceon in the bottom right of your screen. If you are wired, change this to wireless and then connect to your network.
14. It actually worked and now runs ok under Windows 10 with anniversary. Its a pain, I know, but until Netgear sort themsleves out it works, and to be honest the adapter itself is very good and when connected to my virgin Superhub 2 I'm getting 140mbs download. compared to 10 over my very old powerline adapters.
