Netgear A6210 not working properly with Windows 10 (no 5ghz) & cannot install new driver (error 1605)

[mrminivee]

I changed over to windows 10 the other day, and ever since then windows assigned a driver to it automaticly "802.11ac Wireless LAN Card".

I am unable to get 5ghz now and there are just a herd of problems such as sometimes it doesnt pickup, makes me put password in again etc.

So i realised its a driver problem and went onto the Netgear website and downloaded the new firmwire xxxx.30 for windows 10.

When i try install it, it gives me two options, Reinstall/upgrade or Remove. on both options I only get an "ERROR 1605: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

And if i go into Programs and Features to "Uninstall" Netgear A6210 i get another error as such. I am unable to uninstall or install new drivers, and the one windows has given me is useless. Also i have gone into the Device manager to find other drivers without luck.

I have done registry fixing with ccleaner and im not too sure what else to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When you run the Netgear program does it expand all the files into a directory? If so you may be able to MANUALLY chose to update drivers in windows and point to the directory that the Netgear program created.

Where could i find it, if it was expanding it?

Search your drive for a "Netgear" folder ????
