Adapter A6210 not detected
Was not having any issues at all with my A6210 using Windows 10 until Thursday evening, 10/20, when I updated my software version to number 35. Now, the genie on installation will not detect the ada...
As I've been having the same problem with slow connection since latest driver update. I did some research, tested it on another computer and reached the following conclusions:
1. The problem is probably with a recent Windows 10 update, as it ocurres now with any new install even with previous driver releases.
2. The D-Link AC1900 Wi-Fi USB adapter (DWA-192) is much more stable and much faster than the A6210. period!!! from the same distance (22ft+walls) and position (desk). I was able to reach 1.9Mbs with the Dlink while Netgear gave me no more than ~800Mbs.
Enjoy... I moved on.
Thanks for your advice eyalglobal. Having looked through reams of comments like yours and miune, on Netgear's own forum, they continue to push out an upgrade that renders their adaptors useless. The sheer inconvenience, time and cost this throws on their customers is immense, and in bad faith. And as far as I can see, their last update on this on their site was in May. MAY.
Netgear: a challenge. First, how about a good old fashioned apology to us all? Second, a full explanation about why you continue to send out upgrades that you know don't work? And third, how do I apply for my refund?
Over to you.
