The last time I looked, Netgear still had not updated adapter drivers to support recent versions macOS.
This saga has been going on for a few years, so you may be out of luck.

This is the same conclusion I have come to.
And Netgear refuses to admit that there is a compatibility issue.
Their customer support people think that the device and its drivers should be compatible with any Mac OS after 10.8.
To the point where after a 2 hour long customer support call, they came to the conclusion that I must have gotten a faulty device and want to replace it for me.
But I installed the github application and the adapter itself works just fine (on two different macs, one running Big Sur 11.7.6 and the other Monterey 12.5).
Unfortunately, I had to turn off my SIP...so it's not a longterm solution.
BUT it's 100% not the device and 100% these crappy, outdated drivers.
