Is 802.1x security support for wifi adapter A6210 ?

Hi, I uses A6210 to add wifi 5G capability on my windows 10 laptop with only 802.11n 2.4G support. However, the Netgear Genie connectivity software says connection can not be established when I selected a wifi access point with 802.11x EAP security to connect. Not sure if this is Netgear Genie connectivity software's issue or A6210's limitation. Could you help check this problem ? btw, there is No wifi adapter option in the drop menu of "Location". This is confusing. thanks.

No idea if the adapter does support 802.1x EAP.

At this point of the installation I would assume there is a driver in place, and the adapter can be configured from Windows. Unlikely the no longer maintained Netgear Genie program (designed for consumers) does have the special handling for these kind of business wireless environments.
