I have install kmod-mt-76x2u and it's dependency, it' a right driver?
luci info:
Wireless Overview show device is not active
tried reboot
tried many operating frequency combanations
maimum transmit power: - Current power: unknown
openwrt version: OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r19519-39799974a3 / LuCI Master git-22.089.43958-7110635
kerner:5.10.12
model: friendlyelec nanopi r4s
architecture: armv8 processor rev4
kernel version:5.10.112-1-d6ca1fc39c57d2c317b777327099b930
Netgear A6210 is a usb wifi, not a router
The question is: does the kernel support the device or not?
What is the output of lsusb when the stick is connected?
Remove the stick. Then on command line issue "dmesg -c" to clear kernel log. Plug the stick in and issue "dmesg"
What is the output of that?
EDIT: also there are packages kmod-mt76-usb / kmod-mt-76x02-usb. Guess one of that has to be installed too, but which depends on the used chip on your device (often there are different chips used even for devices with the same label)

I also tried install kmod-mt76-usb, but wireless setting not visiable under luci network setting, so I guess correct driver is kmod-mt-76x02-usb
install kmod-mt76x2u will install below package together
kmod-mt76x02-common.
kmod-mt76x2-common.
kmod-mt76x02-usb.
kmod-mt76x2u.
Looked up kernel 5.10.112 driver /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x2 and device is listed under:
static const struct usb_device_id mt76x2u_device_table = {
...
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9053) }, /* Netgear A6210 */
So kmod-mt76x2u is right and package installs all dependencies.
Reboot device and post the output of lsmod. The mt driver should be listed and in use.
EDIT: check if some kind of firmware is missing
dmesg | fgrep -i firmware
EDIT2: also post output of
dmesg | fgrep -i mt76x2u

Openwrt not support Netgear A6210?
To answer that question: it is supported and everything looks like it should. You can use your device to connect to a router or an access point via wpa_supplicant.
But: if you want to use the stick as an access point (so that other devices can connect to it) you're probably out of luck.
It needs to support " AccessPoint (AP) infrastructure mode" at least.
after install wpad-basic-wolfssl, ap mode enabled
