Wifi Adapter A6210

Hi all,
I set up the Netgear Genie on Windows 10 and was able to connect to a public network in the genie program, but I cannot access the internet. What can I do to solve this?

    What "public network" is this? does it require certain login info? 

    The adapter just connects to the network. Its up to windows/mac to establish credentials 

  • How do you connect to a public Wi-Fi where you need to log in? I can connect but cannot access the login screen.

      That'd be a windows/pc/browser issue. Not an adapter issue. 

      the adapter just does the connecting and lets whatever OS you're using go through password negotiation.
