 802.11ac USB WiFi Adapter (A6200)
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 
a

dapter for better wireless communication.
The connection speed can vary depending on the type of USB port on your computer, the 
cap
 acity 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 
re
 gulations allow the USB adapter to connect only at up to 54 Mbps. For a faster 
connection, configure the security for th e router or access point as WPA2 or 
WPA  +  WPA2 mixed wireless security. The  co
 nnection 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   icon to open NETGEAR genie. Then click the  Othe
 r button to view the IP 
address.
No IP address is assigned to the USB adapter.
IP address assignment can be lost  if you up
 graded 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.
