A6210 WiFi USB Adapter
The Join a Network screen shows that the adapter is connected to the network and the genie status bar at the bottom of the screen shows information about the network connection. For more information about the status bar, see View the Connection Status and Details on page 25.
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.
