how to reset network password and user name
Hello so this device i was gifted im trying to learn how to use it and it seems it has its own network. It has a password and username already set on, so is there any posible way to reset the password and username? It also seems to only run on windows, but is there any other OS it can run on? Like Chrome OS or linux?

The adapter does not have a password. That is down to the wifi network.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

Not officially. You may find a hacker somewhere out there who has go it to to work.Thank you for your help I use Windows some times, and mostly Chrome OS. I will not accept this as the soulution tho. I am still looking for the "Chrome OS" version.
Good luck getting help with an ancient adapter like the WNDA3100v2, with its origins in 2007.
