Adapter A6210 not detected

Like virtually everyone else here I ran afoul of the v1.0.0.35 driver package in Windows 10.  As my A6210 had been working fine before this totally-munged update I really didn't want to shell out personal $$ for a new adapter.  Digging through this forum provided resolution.

The recommended steps from jprife dated 2016-12-06 worked.  I did not add the genie.

Someone mentioned removing the Netgear driver(s) in Windows.  I concur.  Get the utility DriverStoreExplorer (https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer/releases) and remove all Netgear adapter driver(s) before following jprife's instructions.  Also, this article may be of general interest: http://www.cio.com/article/3001691/windows/how-to-reduce-unnecessary-drivers-in-windows-10.html

Netgear, it's clear to me you are not reading your own support forum, and especially clear you are ignoring the pleas of many, many people.  Although I was able to regain functionality of my adapter after over two hours of research and reconfiguration (a tremendous expenditure of time for something that should have taken mere minutes) I will echo the sentiment expressed by many, and categorically state I won't be buying any more Netgear products.  There are too many other companies out there that make good equipment, actually *do* provide continued support for their products, and do it well.  Netgear has obviously decided to let their (former) customers twist in the wind.

And by the way... I am a former field service engineer, and have been servicing clients' networks for years.  You have not only lost one customer, but every customer I have and will support.  All those tens of thousands in sales your indifference has cost you...  Think about that a minute.
