A6210 Poor experience
Hi Everyone, Going to be honest here I am really dissapointed in this product and seems a lot of other people are based on the forums results of the A6210. Firstly on the previous version of the drivers with Windows 10 x64 the drivers would never detect from NetGear and Windows would install its own drivers. No matter how many times I did the reinstall, remove, delete, add. When they were working on the Windows drivers large downloads would fail randomly. Classic example "Origin" game client trying to update coudn't so it was stuck in off line mode. Downloading ISO would "always fail". Then only recently NetGear released a new updated version of their driver that now works with Windows 10. I was excited to give this shot and the drivers work straight away from W10 w/ Build 1703. Sadly the downoads will keep dropping out. I have been trying to download a ISO from Vmware for the last 4 hours and having to keep "re-trying" after every failure. I had to take my PC up stairs and connect the ethernet cable to get this to actually work. I have tried enabling Max USB Speed 3.0 (I have a intel chipest with C220 controller series 8)), PMF is off. The odd thing is the average response time to my router is under 1ms with a max od 3ms and 0% packet loss. The only other thing I can think of trying now is switching to the Mediatek drivers as NetGear are only OEMing their dongles from these guys. Any other tips people have come accross that might work would be appreciated. + Current Driver Version: 5.1.29.0 (15/09/2016) NetGear. + USB Root and USB 3.0 and USB Wireless Adapters all have power management set to disable. + Latest chipset drivers from intel installed Thanks,
