A6100 username and password protected wifi

The wifi at my College is protected by a username and password specific to me. After swapping the hard drive on my laptop something went wrong with how I get wifi and I needed a wifi adapter. In the NETGEAR GENIE there is no connect button like there is for the other wifi's. Is there any way that I can connect to this wifi? I have not found any solutions yet. I am running Windows 10 and the driver is fully updated. As seen in below pictures the secure one does not have a connect like the other.

    Doesn't Windows 10 have a connect option that brings up the SSID and password? Mine does.

     

    It should show you the local networks available. Pick the one you want and bingo.

      Since my wifi antenna is fried or something like that it will only run through the genie. When I pull up my wifi from the computer there are no networks available.

        Sorry. I don't understand that. If the antenna is fried, how do you expect to connect to the wifi?

         

        Surely Windows can see networks available to the A6100? It does here.
