If you encounter connection problems, see the following troubleshooting information:

If the adapter cannot connect to the WiFi router, see 

If the WiFi router cannot connect to the Internet, see

The adapter’s connection details show in the genie status bar that displays at the bottom 
of each genie screen. 

The status bar shows the following connection details:

Network name BSSID. The WiFi network name (SSID) and basic SSID (BSSID) of 
the WiFi network to which the adapter is connected. The BSSID is expressed as the 
MAC address of the access point to which the adapter is connected.

IP address or Internet connection. The IPv4 or IPv6 address that is assigned to the 
adapter. If the adapter is connected to the Internet, the field does not display the IP 
address but displays the message Connected to the Internet.

Network security. The lock symbol shows whether the network you are connected to 
uses WiFi security. An open lock indicates an open network without WiFi security, 
such as one that you might use in a coffee shop.

WiFi channel. The WiFi channel of the network to which the adapter is connected.

Physical rate. The physical transmission rate for WiFi communication.

Signal strength. The strength of the WiFi signal. Three to five bars indicate a good 
signal. One or two bars indicate a weak signal. 

You can use the adapter’s NETGEAR genie to view more information such as packet 
statistics, IP address, type of security, and MAC address.

Insert the adapter into a USB port on your computer.

Let your adapter join a network. 

If your adapter was previously connected to a network, the adapter reconnects 
automatically.
