Move your WiFi adapter away from anything that could cause interference and the same with the WiFi router. Most desktops have ports on the front and back. If using 2.4 GHz you may want to plug the adaptor into a USB 2.0 port of the computer and away from in use USB 3.0 ports. Search USB 3.0 WiFi interference in a search engine for more information. If you are going to use a USB 3.0 port remember that this may interfere with 2.4 GHz, therefore you should use 5 GHz if connected via USB 3.0. If you are using 5 GHz and a USB 3.0 port you may wish to force the adaptor to use USB 3.0 in the properties instead of relying on the auto setting. 
There are options to allow you to configure which channels the adapter can connect to in the properties, the defaults should be fine for most regions. #NETGEAR A6200 WIFI ADAPTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS VISTA DRIVERS#
The drivers will work with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, though I have only tested 2.4 GHz on a USB 2.0 port mostly due to the distance from my WiFi access point. Make sure your WiFi access point/ router is set to use: WPA2-Personal (PSK) with AES only (you don’t want to use TKIP), the channel width is set to 20 MHz and the channel is set to 1,6 or 11 (avoid auto) if using 2.4 GHz. You will need to look into this yourself by login into your router and searching online for info. Check to see if your WiFi access point/ router is running the latest firmware. #NETGEAR A6200 WIFI ADAPTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS VISTA UPDATE#

The best driver to use are the ones direct from mediatek, I’ve made a short guide below on how to get them to install. These drivers may also work with the Netgear A6200, but I haven’t tested them.
I have only tested this fix on Windows 10, by using the drivers and settings below I have managed to eliminate the constant issues I was having with the A6210 on Windows 10. The bundled drivers for the A6210 and the ones listed on Netgears site were giving me constant disconnects, saying my connection was limited or failing to connect at all.
