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.
Event 10400: A6200
Hello all, I have trawled Google, tried alternate drivers ranging from signed Netgear Beta drivers to BSOD-causing chipset manufacturer drivers. After hunting down several errors in my event log, one still persists among all else. Event 10400, NDIS The network interface "NETGEAR A6200 WiFi Adapter" has begun resetting. There will be a momentary disruption in network connectivity while the hardware resets. Reason: The network driver requested that it be reset. This network interface has reset 4909 time(s) since it was last initialized. This was merely leaving the wireless adapter attached to my computer overnight. The only way that I can fix the problem of intermittent connection issues is by unplugging the adapter and plugging the adapter back in, because it's a crapshoot whether the driver will restart on its own and regain connectivity. It's baffling that the device worked with Windows 7, then I update to Windows 10 and suddenly with a new driver it goes straight down the drain in terms of performance: - Disconnects at random - No networks shown - Can only remedy quickly by unplugging and reconnecting the device Any thoughts? Oh, you can get my DxDiag information here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbq5wdg48h1thqi/DxDiag.txt?dl=0 A copy of the event is here (device reset counter still rising): https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnk3xo4ni9zfq4f/Event%2010400.txt?dl=0
A6210 - No Adaptor Detected
Hi All, Thanks in advance for my issue. I just purchased A6210 and has been trying to install it for hours without success. The issue is genie will not detect the adapter at all. When I check under device manager, the driver does appear to be installed. but the status is as below: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. I have tried to remove/install again and again, restarting computer in between, clean registry, etc. Nothing has worked. Can anyone please give me any suggestions? Is this adapter faulty?? Thanks, Anthony
A6200 adapter stopped working
Hello, First, my system specs: http://pastebin.com/Kdf7871e My problem: As the title says, my adapter stopped working (after roughly 8 months of faithful services). Friday evening, I had a message from Windows (8.1), asking me to reboot to finish the installation of some updates. Upon reboot, my adapter wasn't working, but I managed to repair the connection by disabling and re-enabling the adapter in Device manager. Then I tried to install another update, it failed, I rebooted, and voilà, no more internet connection. So, I tried uninstalling the drivers, re-install the lastest version (.35 - standalone). Still not working. I uninstalled the driver, I used Ccleaner to clean my registry, I reinstalled the 0.26 version (standalone) of the driver, no luck. I brought the adapter to another Windows 8.1 machine (AMD based, this one though), installed the 0.35 drivers and it worked fine on the first attempt. This machine also has all the latests Windows updates installed. So, tried something more. Reinstalled all up-to-date drivers on my machine, still no luck. I uninstalled the Netgear drivers, then I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to reinstall them, so it could monitor the install, then used the uninstall function to help me purge the registry. Then I reinstalled the 0.35 drivers. No luck. And then I decided it was time to be a man, admit I am baffled and cry for help ;) If I got into the Device manager, there's yellow triangle next to my adapter and the error message when I right-click properties: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. So far the only thing I haven't tried is to uninstall all the latests Windows Updates... I'll do it if there's no other solution, but I thought that maybe there was some cleaning utility, akin to the ones used for video card drivers, that I could use? Thanks for the help,
