Netgear A6210 User Guide

The Details pop-up screen displays.

The Details pop-up screen shows the following information:

Network name (SSID). The name assigned to a WiFi network. As a security 
measure, some WiFi access points do not broadcast their SSIDs. In such cases, the 
network is hidden. The name (SSID) field is blank even though the rest of the 
information is displayed. For information about joining a hidden network, see 

18.

Channel. The channel on which the WiFi network operates. NETGEAR recommends 
that you choose a network that uses a different channel from the channel of 
neighboring networks.

WiFi Mode. The WiFi mode that the router or access point uses, such as AC, N, G, B, 
or

  A.

WPS support. Identifies whether the router or access point for this network supports 
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

MAC address. The unique hardware address of the WiFi device broadcasting this 
information. Typically, the WiFi device is a WiFi router or access point.

To close the Details pop-up screen, click the OK button.

The adapter can join a known WiFi network through several methods:

WPS. Use the adapter’s WPS button to join a WiFi network (see 

12). 

Use this method if your WiFi router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

NETGEAR genie. Use the adapter’s NETGEAR genie to join a WiFi network (see 

13).

Use this method if your WiFi router does not support WPS.
