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...
I too bought an A6210, for my wife's Dell desk top running Windows 10 with all current updates.
There is no way that I can get the device properly installed - same problem as everybody else - adapter not recognised. I have tried all the fixes and work arounds without success.
Why should I have to do this? Netgear is not some fly-by-night operation.; it is an established company with a reputation to maintain. I expect hardware and software that I pay good money for to work properly first time, every time, out of the box.
Got so fed-up I went and bought an Edimax AC600 - a tiny but perfectly formed bit of kit that works perfectly first time out of the box with W10 - no fuss no trouble, dead easy installation and excellent clear instructions.
I recommend it!
I think Netgear needs to take a serious grip and update its software to the current version of W10, or its reputaion and customers will evapourate like the morning dew in July.
Do you have malwarebytes 3.x installed? If so, remove it. I no longer run it on this computer. 3.x caused issues with this adapter and its also just junk.
