A6210 WiFi USB Adapter

After the adapter joins the network, it saves the network connection information to a Windows profile. Both NETGEAR genie and the Windows Wireless Network Connection utility can use this profile. If the network information does not change, the next time that you launch genie, the adapter connects automatically to the network that it joined previously.
