A7000 Nighthawk AC1900 Genie no connect button?
I used this WiFi adapter for school, but stopped using it for two months as I did not need it anymore. It worked fine before, but now that I have started using it again, there is no "connect" button on the secured network(s). How am I supposed to input my login if I do not have the opportunity to do so? I am probably missing something as I have not used it...

We don't know what you are using to connect to the wifi.
If this is a Windows PC, then that is where to look for a "connect to the wifi" option.
Look for something that calls itself
Open Network & Internet Settings
If you are in Windows 10, there's a Notification button top/bottom right, with luck it will have a Network option.
Also look here:

Essentially, it is down to the PC. The adapter just does what that tells it to do.
Maybe you also installed the Netgear genie for Winws at some stage. If so, look for that in your Windiows menus.
Manuals are also a good place to start.

Try WPS.
