After Searching I found this tool, and it get it to work on Catalina. Hope it helps atleast temporarily until Netgear releases the fix

The OSS WIFI solution posted here requires that you disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) which is a Mac OS security measure designed to protect against malware.

Unless you know the full ramifications, it's not a good idea to mess around with this.

So to update, looks like recent releases no longer require SIP to be disabled, which is great news.

The driver seems to work with my mobile tether, it is not working on Starbucks WIFI right now.
