Sent/Receive Activity

• Sent Packets. Total number of packets sent during communication with the wireless network.
• Received Packets. Total number of packets received during communication with the wireless network.

Network

• IPv4 Address. The IPv4 address assigned to this USB adapter. The IPv4 address can change if you disconnect from the network and rejoin it later.
• IPv6 Address. The IPv6 address assigned to this USB adapter. The IPv6 address can change if you disconnect from the network and rejoin it later.
• Security Type. Wireless security used for the USB adapter to connect to the current wireless network.

Adapter

- Adapter MAC Address. The Media Access Control (MAC) address of this USB adapter. The MAC address is a unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to each wireless device. As a security measure, some wireless networks restrict access based on a list of known MAC addresses. If you try to join such a network, you have to provide your USB adapter's MAC address (shown here) to the network administrator before you can connect.

- Region. The region setting for the USB adapter. Wireless channels in use depend on the country or region. Your USB adapter automatically scans approved channels for your region when it checks to see which networks are available in your area. Governments regulate the channels used for wireless transmission. Operating the USB adapter in a different region might violate local laws.

Support

• Get Diagnostics Info. Click the Get Info button if support has directed you to do so. The genie displays the System Information screen and starts collecting system information, IP information, client driver and profile information, and site survey information.
• Software Update. You can check for software updates at the NETGEAR website. Click the Check button, and the genie displays the Live Check screen and checks for available software upgrades. If new software is found, the USB adapter software is automatically updated.

Note: During the software update process, the old software version is removed and all saved profiles are deleted before the new software version is installed. When the software update process is complete, the USB adapter no longer connects to the network automatically. You need to join the network as described in Join a Wireless Network with NETGEAR genie on page 9. (If you do not use the NETGEAR genie, see Install a Standalone Driver without NETGEAR genie on page 15.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The USB adapter LED is not lit.

The USB adapter is not inserted securely in the USB port (or USB cable if used) or the A6200 software is not installed.

• Remove and reinsert the USB adapter.
• Check the Windows device manager to see if the USB adapter is recognized and enabled. Reinstall the A6200 software, if necessary.
• Insert the USB adapter in a different USB port on your computer if one is available.

I do not see the icon.

Check to make sure that your USB adapter is inserted in the USB port. If it is removed, then the icon is not displayed. When you insert the USB adapter into the USB port, the icon returns to your desktop and the Windows system tray.

I cannot connect to a wireless network.

• Make sure that your USB adapter is inserted securely into the USB port on your computer or the USB cable if you are using it. The USB adapter LED should light or blink (see NETGEAR genie Desktop Icon on page 7 for details).
• Click the icon to open NETGEAR genie. The following screen displays if the USB adapter cannot connect to the network that you selected:

- If the network uses wireless security, you need to either know the wireless security settings or use Push 'N' Connect if the network supports WPS. Some networks also restrict use to only computers or wireless devices with known MAC addresses. If that is the case, on the NETGEAR genie screen, click Other to find the MAC address for your USB adapter and provide it to the network administrator.

When I connect to the network, I cannot access the Internet.

Click No open NETGEAR genie. The following screen displays if the USB adapter can connect to the network that you selected but you cannot access the Internet:

Make sure that you are connected to the correct network. If you are, then check to see if the router's Internet connection is working. If the router's Internet connection is not working, restart the modem, router, and computer.

When I connect to the network, I cannot access shared resources such as printers.

• Make sure that the router or access point is physically connected to the Ethernet network.
- Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking settings are configured correctly.

Do the USB ports go into a sleep mode if there is no traffic?

The USB devices do go into sleep mode if a USB feature called Selective Suspend is enabled, which it is by default. If this feature is enabled, and the connected USB devices to go into Selective Suspend mode, the network disconnects. To prevent this type of network disconnection, you can disable Selective Suspend.

To disable Selective Suspend mode:

1. Select S tart > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > USB Settings.
2. Change the setting for Selective Suspend mode to Disabled.

How can I improve the speed of my wireless connection?

You can use the USB cable and USB adapter that came in the package to position the USB adapter for better wireless communication.

The connection speed can vary depending on the type of USB port on your computer, the capacity of the router or access point for the wireless network, and the type of Internet connection. You can view the throughput in the status bar at the bottom of the Smart Wizard screen.

- If the throughput is 54 Mbps, you could be connected to an 802.11g network, or the wireless-N network could be set with WPA (TKIP) security.

When WPA (TKIP) security mode is configured on the router or access point, WiFi regulations allow the USB adapter to connect only at up to 54 Mbps. For a faster connection, configure the security for the router or access point as WPA2 or WPA + WPA2 mixed wireless security. The connection speed still depends on the wireless capacity of the router or access point.

- If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your computer, the throughput is limited to the 14 Mbps of the older USB 1.1 standard.

How can I view the IP address for the USB adapter?

Click the N icon to open NETGEAR genie. Then click the Other button to view the IP address.

No IP address is assigned to the USB adapter.

IP address assignment can be lost if you upgraded your USB adapter software and did not reboot your computer. To correct this problem, either restart your computer, or connect to a different access point.
