A6100 Installation, Standalone or Genie Version and Windows WLAN AutoConfig
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I've searched for this answer and even sent an email to Microsoft, but no answer yet...I cannot find it anywhere. So what I'm wanting to know has more to do with WLAN in general than with my NetGear A6100 card but it does apply to my A6100 NIC. I installed the A6100 v1.0.0.30 with Genie on my Windows 8.1 64-bit machine and it seems to work good, I see many networks and all appears to be good, but I'm wondering if I should uninstall it and just use the standalone version? The reason I ask this is that this is the first WLAN NIC I've had in years, almost 7+ years since I last used WLAN and I realize that things have changed, but back then I had a Wireless NIC (don't wanna mention the name 'cause it wasn't a NetGear product), and I remember that the product had it's own WLAN service and driver and I had to turn off Microsoft's WLAN AutoConfig service in order for it to work properly. The PC I had this on was Windows XP Pro and I understand that Windows 8.1 has probably added some new things for networking but I'm wondering if I turn the WLAN AutoConfig service off in Windows 8.1 and uninstall the Genie version of NetGear and then install the standalone version, will I still have the ability to use WLAN on my Windows 8.1 machine. In other words, do I need the Windows WLAN AutoConfig service to be on for the NetGear driver and firmware to function. I do not like the Windows WLAN AutoConfig, it never seems to connect properly, loses connections alot (they go from good to limited, etc.) and would prefer to have only the NetGear drivers for accessing Wireless networks. I have all the latest updates from Windows Update installed, except the one where it offers to replace the NETGEAR A6100 Genie with the Microsoft version of it and I also know that other people on Windows 7 and 8 have issues with the Microsoft WLAN AutoConfig so this is not just something limited to my computer.When is the Netgear Genie program update for Windows coming?
It's been months since a netgear moderator said that the netgear program would be getting a "UI facelift" and that hasn't happened. When is it coming? What is Netgear doing to improve the user experience and provide better software/firmware for their products?Windows10 upgrade - AirCard 340u not working (Telus)
Hi there, I have been using my Air Card 340u for over a year now -absolutely delighted with it. Last week Windows 10 upgraded something or other and now my Air Card 340u is not working. Was on the phone with Telus support for over an hour. Uninstalled the program. Went to download the driver - did - and it is still not working. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks so much,Netgear genie 2.4.38 Darstellungsprobleme und USB 2.0 Problem.
Hallo, ich habe zwei Probleme mit meinem Genie Router, bzw. der aktuellen Genie Software. Sie wird immer Übergroß geöffnet, was bei einem 32 Zoll Monitor einfach nur bescheiden aussieht. Ich habe schon sämtliche Kompatibilitätseinstellungen durch, nur wenn ich den Bildschirm auf FullHD runterscaliere und die Anwendung dann installiere und später wieder meine richtige Auflösung einstelle sieht es so wie auf Bild 2 aus. Dieser Zustand bleibt aber nur ein paar Mal so, dann wird die Anwendung wieder vergrößert wie auf Bild 1. Ich habe in Windows 10 nichts verändert, alle anderen Anwendungen auch ReadyShareVault-Software laufen normal nur die Genie-Software wird doppelt so groß dargestellt. Ich weiss nicht ob das auf den Bildern richtig rüberkommt sieht aber in der Realität echt bescheiden aus, auch hauen die Schriftarten nicht hin.Ist bei diesen Bildern zwar nicht so ganz deutlich zu erkennen, in einigen Menüs werden da z.B. Buchstaben abgeschnitten u.s.w. Hat da irgendwer einen Tipp ? Zweite Problem ist die neue Firmware V1.0.7.12_1.2.5 , mit der läuft kein Gerät von mir mehr problemlos an dem USB 2.0 Port. Gelegentlich bekomme ich dort noch Zugriff auf die Laufwerke, die LED bleibt dauerhaft aus. Firmware V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 hat dieses Problem nicht, allerdings sind ja Sicherheitslücken gefixt worden, so das ich natürlich lieber die aktuelle Firmware drauf hätte. .Netgear Genie Keeps Crashing
