You can join a wireless network from this NETGEAR Genie screen, or you can use

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) if your wireless network supports it.

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

NETGEAR Genie Icon

When you install your adapter, the NETGEAR Genie icon displays in the Windows

taskbar and on the desktop. You can click this icon to open NETGEAR Genie to

make changes or connect to a different wireless network. The color of the icon

indicates the strength of your wireless connection from 0 (zero) to 5 bars.

Green: 3 to 5 bars

Yellow: 1 or 2 bars

Red: 0 (zero) bars, indicating no connection

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

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