Hi GerryPeters
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

The adapter does detect the network. For some reason the password wasn't working to manually input it or by using the button to send to my modem
I think I was using the Netgear Genie to connect to the network? But it seemed a window did pop up that I think was the Windows Utility and that didn't work either.
The standalone driver was the first thing I installed and got nowhere with it, I thought may because I didn't first uninstall the WNA1100. But maybe I just didn't know how to use the standalone driver. I checked out the readme file and that didn't help.
What is the difference between the standalone driver and the Genie? How do I use the standalone driver correctly. Why would I use one instead of the other?
This post has given me hope that maybe I can solve this. I'll try somethings on Monday and get back to you. If you can enlighten me some with my questions above that may make Monday more fruitful
Thanks,
