Hi, I don't think that's the right subject line to use but don't know how to word it. So I have this AC1200 still in the box (purchased last year). 

Nothing wrong with the question, but we don't know what you are using.

What is this AC1200?

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.

The A6200|802.11ac Dual Band WiFi USB Adapter listed in your footer is a USB wifi adapter.

You have put your question in the section for Nighthawk WiFi Routers. They don't care about your Windows version

If you do have a USB adapter, I haven't seen any reports that Windows 11 breaks them. My own USB devices still work.

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:

WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
