You won't get much informed help with your somewhat ancient adapter here. (It dates back to 2014, before Windows 10, and there hasn't been an update since 2017.)
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section. That's probably here:

Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
