I tried some things today. An XP window popped up with this:

Wireless network connection

choose a wireless network

mine does show up at top

enter password

long wait - no window of the result

in list my network is at top and it says automatic with a gold star icon, showing full signal strength - but it's not connected

Click on Netgear icon in sys tray and open Genie

my network is not in the list

choose Push N connect option, press both buttons

error message

Network Genie - failed to join wireless network ATT2xxxxx

it correctly lists my network name

Yet in the Genie window it's not there even after Refresh

select different button in Genie - Home, Other, manually connect to a network

now it shows my network

choose connect, a password screen pops up - hit ok, it don't connect

now my network is not showing in the Genie window even after Refresh

What's the difference between Standalone and Genie?

Any suggestions?
