click Connect. If the network is secure, enter its password or network key.

Check Your Connection Status

When you install your adapter, the adapter’s NETGEAR genie icon displays in the

Windows system tray and on the desktop. You can double-click this icon to open

NETGEAR genie to make changes or connect to a different WiFi network. The color

of the icon indicates the strength of your WiFi connection:

White. Strong connection

Yellow. Weak connection

Red. No connection

If you remove your adapter, NETGEAR genie is not available, so the icon does not

display. When you insert the adapter again, the icon returns.
