A6210 NEEDS UPDATE! PLEASE STOP IGNORING THIS NETGEAR!
Regarding A6210 - AC1200 High Gain WiFi USB Adapter — 802.11ac Dual Band USB 3.0
Windows 11.
A6210 Software Version 1.0.0.39
I have been sent here by support to post this because they refuse to do anything, even though i see there is MANY post regarding this issue already and NetGear hasn't done anything about it. Yet as the support representative says that managers always read this and take action. i have seen no action taken with all the post regarding same situation.
The last release which Crashes completely is from 2018 and nothing has been done about it.
There is even an open known issue with the latest release that NetGear even admits to... still nothing!
No Windows 11 support still.
No help still.

All this together changes the way i see Netgear completely.----Not sure if you talked to netgear as their support is only free for the first 90 days. After that, its paid support. Most of the consumer networking gear uses this model as its expensive to run support and most people try to use it as their own IT department (not saying you were. Just explaining why they've switched to this model)
So there is no manager that actively reads these as thought, and mods are rare that have no ability to escalate the issue either.----There's mods on here but they tend to be more active on the more expensive devices (like orbi or readynas forums)
What did you mean by highlighting the issue you just meen posting it here right?---It does help to have on here because the more posts they see about the same issue, the more likely they are to consider it a systemic issue and looks for updates versus thinking its just a single persons issue.
netgear is crap. Got it.----Didn't say that. Just explaining the current consumer gear issues you'll find for most companies.
Thanks for the reply though i do appreciate it! plemans
There's a few posts on the forum that might help that have had similar issues.

Why is the Netgear A6210 wireless adapter still being sold in stores if it has NO Windows 11 support?

Does it claim to support Windows 11?
Have you installed the Windows 10 drivers?
A6210 Software Version 1.0.0.39 - NETGEAR Support
I have yet to come across a device that works in Windows 10 but not Windows 11.
Did you try this?

Googling throughout the internet will bring up hundreds of threads regarding the A6210 NOT working with Windows 11.
As for your comment that you have yet to find a Windows 10 driver that does not work with Windows 11 shows either that you are young & dumb or just foolish.
If a device manufacturer does NOT release Windows 11 drivers that is usually indicative that the device in questions does not fully work in Windows 11 (as I have experienced with this bad device purchased at Best Buy).....
Just admit that the device sucks for Windows 11 and say it so people do NOT continue looking or waiting for a 'fix'...
I think support was leading your poorly or wanting to get you off the phone.
While there are some mod's on here, they don't have much pull and aren't that active on here.
So while it helps to highlight issues, not a whole lot happens.
There's a few posts about disabling some of the built in windows management features that can cause conflicts.
Yeah the representative was rude the entire time, and clearly lied just being lazy and careless.
All this together changes the way i see Netgear completely.
