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.
