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!Cannot create new folder on R7800 ReadyShare using Win 10 Explorer
For some reason I am unable to create a new folder with a unique name, or rename an existing file or folder on any ReadyShare network share using windows exporer. I can copy existing files and folders from any of my PCs to the share, but if I try to create a new folder or rename an existing file or folder in explorer, i get an error message. If I try to create a new folder with a unique name, say "Temp," I get the following error message: If I hit cancel then a new folder appears on the share as "New Folder." If I try to rename the "New Folder" to some other name, I get the same error message. I I try to rename an existing folder on the share, say change "\\ReadyShare\USB_Storage\Backups" to "Old Backups," I get a similar error message: Like I said, I have no problems copying existing files from my PCs to a share using windows explorer or creating new files using other apps, e.g. Word, Excel, etc. I can also delete existing files from the share using explorer. I have tried this with several different USB storage devices and I get the same behavior. For some reason it seems like the name changing process in explorer cannot find the file/folder that is being renamed. I have been working around this issue by creating new folders on my PC and then dragging them to the share but this seems like a strange way to have to do it! I am using an R7800 Nighthawk Router with the latest firmware V1.0.2.12. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
ProSafe FVG318
I had a nice wi-fi network set up on my rural 7 acres, back in 2011. A fire, on 01/15/13, wiped it all out. I was able to replace the fvg318 router; and, got things set up with that for the limited usage I needed since then; but, I no longer needed to use the access control list feature. Now, I've been able to replace the WAG302 access points and antennas; and, I'm trying to recreate what I had before. THEN, I was running ME & (later) Vista; and, the friend who lives on the west end of my property was running XP. Now, I'm running Win 10 and he's running Win 8. I don't remember my security set-up back then, other than the fact that I had to use the ACL to prevent other computers in the area from trying to "connect to the best signal." In setting things back up (as best I can), I'm running into a problem of my Netgear equip not wanting to let me use an access control list using anything other than WEP-PSK encription; and, it appears that Win 8 &10 no longer support WEP... With a FVG318 router and 2 WAG302 AP's, am I missing an option to use the ACL with an encription system that Win 8 & 10 support? I should add: 1) I have fairly severe fibromyalgia; and, when I push too hard physically, my IQ drops by 25~50%. It's entirely likely that I'm missing something that would be very obvious to me when I wasn't in a fibro-fog... 2) Getting newer equipment is NOT an option - I'm a disabled senior, on a subsistence level income. Plus, this "legacy" equipment does a job that any of the newer equipment simply won't do, even if I did have the means to afford it. (My 7 acres is a long, skinny strip with lots of trees and a steep declining topographical grade.) I'm not sure if this post actually posted; or, if it just got saved; but, I'll go ahead and risk "re-posting" it; since, (hopefully) I've now resolved the problem. From what I could tell, the main problem stemmed from either a page loading glitch; or, a brain loading glitch. When I went back tonight and tried again, I was able to change over to WPA and WPA2 (TKIP + AES Encryption) [then, set up the passkey] from the Network Configuration > Wireless Settings page. This time, everything was back to normal on the "Setup Access List" page. I've only reconfigured the router and 1 AP; and, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to do any outside testing; but, both laptops are now working on Wi-Fi off the router. I hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. :)
