WNDR3400V3-N600 - Windows 10 Connectivity Issue

[SSri]

Hi, I have a new DELL Inspiron (Windows 10) with a "Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165" which I am unable to connect to WNDR3400V3-N600 router. Other existing devices like Android, iOS and Printer are connected through the router and work fine. I get the message "Checking Network Requirements" and a while later get "Can't Connect to this network". The wired connection is working all right. I disabled access control and even tried security 'None' briefly. But, no success. The wireless connection also connected to another non-NetGear router earlier, suggesting that the problem is specific to NetGear environment.

Adapter Driver - Intel latest version (18.20.0.9)
Router S/w - Latest Version (V.1.0.1.2_1.0.51)

I even fell back to earlier versions of the Intel adapter such as 18.12.0.3 & 17.15.0.5 but with no success.

Any help is appreciated. TIA.

Found the problem.

I needed a hard reset of the Router after I had upgraded the router firmware sometime back. Everything is back to normal now.

This can now be closed.

Thanks Elaine, for your support.

Welcome to the community, @SSri

That's very odd.

There's a new Intel driver version 18.30.0. It's release date was 12/16/2015.

Try to install that one and see if that will work.

Also, did you upgrade OS or your computer comes with Windows 10 already?

Elaine, thanks.

Downloaded the 18.30.0 version from Intel and installed. But, still the same problem.

Forgot to mention that I didn't upgrade the OS. It came with Dell.
