I have tried downloading the most recent driver again (the one that says it supports Windows 10).
I then go to the Windows device manager, find the Netgear WNA3100 and try to manually update the driver by pointing it to the folder containing the standalone driver setup file but it says the most recent version is already installed.
The problems remains and apparantly I'm not the only one, I have seen other topics by other people who are experiencing the same issues.
