N300 Wireless Adapter - Can it auto connect to network?

I just purchased a N300 wireless usb adapter and while its working fine on my desktop, I have found that I have to sign into my network every time I restart my computer. Is there a way to get the adapter to auto connect?

    That will be down to the wifi client. Your Windows PC? And that depends on the version you have and the way in which you connect. The adapter has no control over that.

      Thanks. I went back and installed the standalone driver and now its connecting fine. Something about the Genie wasnt allowing me to do that
