Worked until I upgraded to Windows 10

First things First: THIS DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK WITH WINDOWS 10 (April 5, 2016). I bought this adapter when I decided to upgrade an older computer with a new hard drive. The older computer was running Windows 7. When I first installed this adapter and ran it in Windows 7, it was great. I had a good solid internet connection and blazing fast download speeds. I was excited to have this computer up and running well.
Then, I went for the Windows 10 upgrade. And that is where everything fell apart. Netgear claims the WNA3100 is Windows 10 compliant, but DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
I tried everything. Install software, uninstall software, reload software, uninstall Virus Protection, re-load software again. I tried every possible combination of loading and reloading this craptastic Netgear Windows 10 software and drivers. Just as others have said here, the adapter runs for a few minutes then slowly craps out. I ran several network tests and you can literally see the adapter losing connectivity.
Simply put, THIS DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK ON WINDOWS 10. This is the download description from Netgear's website, "Software Version 2.2.0.4 (Supports Win10)" So, if version 2.2.0.4 is still the latest driver version from Netgear, DO NOT BUY THIS for a Windows 10 machine. You have been warned.
