Where does the WiFi Adapter, the subject of this section, come into the picture? Or is it just a router issue?
If so, you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Can I have just one user name and password for all of the functions for Netgear? It seems I am asked for a new user name and password for each function!!!
What functions are these? The password for the browser graphical user interface (GUI) is not the same as the password for the wifi, although you can change both.

One more question: I'm trying to set up the AC1200 Wifi USB Adapter with no success. Help!
At least that question belongs in this place, but without more information it is anybody's guess where things go wrong. I'm afraid that "with no success" provides minimal diagnostic information.
Which USB adapter is this?
AC1200 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number. A6150?
