My guess is that there is a setting somewhere that you have not found. I have never seen this behaviour. If anything I have to work hard to get the PC to connect.
We don't know where you have looked for the right setting. You say you went thbrough the "all the places listed". There was just one place with instructions on how to get there. Maybe I should have used a better format.
Did you find this?

Yes. Despite your stating "one place to look", i took that as a list to follow up on possible leads to somthing in my seach for some thing to change... Been there and any related setting i can find.

You did say you had looked all over the pace. I assumed that you knew what you were doing.
You didn't say if you arrived at the screen I posted.
Remember, this is done for the SSID, not the adapter.
You asked..."Did you find this?"
I responded... "Yes."... "Been there and any related setting i can find."
I probably could have been a bit more definitive.
Your problem is with Windows.
Netgear's USB devices have no control over this feature.
