Netgear A6210 not working on windows 10

Hi,
I'm having alot of trouble with my A6210 wifi adapter.
After upgrading to windows 10, my screen would freeze on start up and after following advice online to remove the wifi adapter on start up I wad able to log on.
However following this, my wifi adapter was telling me 'not connected- connections available'
But there were no connection options provided
So again I trawled through forums and following advice on here I installed the Intel chip set.
After restarting I had wifi options available but it was not connecting to my router, so I tried by pressing the WPS on my router, and it is still trying to connect to the router 20 minutes later.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Netgear A6210 not working on windows 10

I have had so many BSOD it is not funny with this product .. So bad I went out and bought a new Wifi device from Amozon that work 500x better then this one ... I went from 150 MPS on a 5g network with good signal to 876 mps on the new USB Wifi adapter and no BSOD nor any windows issue's ...    Netgear suport can not help in the mater as the isssue is with there driver which is a modified beta driver from windows 10 launch. They have not updated the drive since 2015.

 

While there routers are greeat and I love them .. The Wifi USB adapter is junk .... It is sad that a company like this can not have a new driver and or product that customers can rely on .. I am in contact with there Corprate Office on this but still they admit the driver is faulty but do not know when it will be fixed ...

 

I went with Alfa Long-Range Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter I bought on Amazon.

 

This is with the new adapter

This is the debug and fault report for my BSOD from the Netgear product
