A6200 Dead Since Win 10 Upgrade
Your newest, supposedly Win 10 compatible driver, is not Win 10 compatible. My A6200 adapter was working fine until I upgraded to Win 10. Now it is completely dead. The firmware is updated, and I have tried all Win compatibility options. I have tried all A6200 drivers. I have even tried the A6210 driver as recommended by a member of this forum. The blue connect light never illuminates. I have used the standalone and non drivers. Nothing works. Numerous others are having the same problem in this forum. When are you going to provide a driver that actually works with Win 10? Also, why would you release a Win 10 driver when it is obviously not compatible with Win 10? My confidence in Netgear products is at an all time low!
Netgear A6210 internet drops
So, I just got the Netgear A6210 network adapter for Christmas because I was having problems with my old one and it works great but the only problem is I'm getting internet drops randomly for like a second or two and then it comes back. It's hardly noticeable when browsing the net, but when it comes to gaming it can be really frustrating. I have already looked up if anyone else has had a problem with this but have seen nothing. I should note the drivers are updated and I am running the adapter on Windows 8.1. I'm not entirely sure if it's my computer or the adapter, I'm just assuming it's the adapter as the last one I had didn't have this issue. If anyone knows anything that could help I could really use it, thanks.
AC1200 cannot connect to WIFI network
Hi, I just got a new AC1200 adapter for my laptop, to be able to connect to a 5 GHZ home network. My router is a Netgear VEGN2610 (http://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/telco/gateways/vegn2610.aspx) that is dual-band and has 2 networks - 2.4 and 5 ghz. I have installed latest drivers from the internet (using Windows 8.1). When attempting to connect i am getting VERY LOW signal for the 5ghz network, and the connection fails. The 2.4ghz network is about the same performance as the one with the internal wifi adapter of my laptop (Dell XPS 17 L702x). What's going on ? i assumed 5ghz and the latest WIFI standards should offer better range and performance. Why isn't it working ? I wanted to consult with the forums before i contact Amazon to return the product.
Netgear A6210 not showing 5ghz band
Good afternoon, I recently purchased a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk to make use of the high speed 5ghz band, only to find out that my usb adapter (A6210) is unable to view it as an available network. I can connect to the 2.4ghz band perfectly fine ( averages about 165mbit/s), but the 5ghz is nowhere to be found. I tried updating the genie software, uninstalling and re-installing the software and the drivers without success. I also contacted live support but was quickly turned down since apparently my 90 day support expired 4 days ago. Has anybody had a similar experience with this adapter? The only reason I purchased the nighthawk was for its raving reviews and coverage, which my a6210 cannot utilize. In comparison, my Macbook air connects from the same exact distance to the router's 5ghz band with a perfect signal. I am using Windows 7 professional, and the distance between usb adapter and router is aprox. 10 feet, with a dry wall in between. When I switch the device's properties in windows control panel from 2.4 and 5ghz bands to only show 5ghz bands, there are no connections available. Is it possible that there is a hardware problem with the 5ghz band? Thank you.
Stuck at 54Mbps
I setup my R6300 a couple months back and have been using it in conjunction with the N900 USB adapter and getting pretty reasonable speeds. I recently got the A6200 adapter and connecting to the same network, I'm limited to connecting at only 54Mbps. If I switch back to the other adapter, the speeds go up. I'm running Windows 8 and using the latest Windows 8 Beta driver. Any insight as to what's going on?
Connects with 802.11n not 802.11ac
I am using a Netgear R6200 router with an A6200 usb adapter on Windows 8 64-bit in the 5GHz band, and it connects using 802.11n. I cannot find any options for using 802.11ac and in the A6200 WiFi Adapter properties I don't even see a reference to 802.11ac. Does anyone know what I setting I need to change to get 802.11ac?
