A6210 set-up no wifi

I need help setting up my A6210 again. I have set it up before but it disconnected.

I have a laptop I used to download the drivers, and plugged the usb into my other computer (that does not have wifi connection) and it worked. I need help to do that again.

Whenever I plug in the device, my internet options will not pop up, nor does the adapter show in my devices.

I'm not sure what question to ask, but I looked up everywhere how to set it up and couldn't ever find it. Please help.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    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.

    I don't know what you mean by "my internet options".

     

    It isn't obvious to me that the problem is with your USB adapter. Maybe it is working fine and there is something you need to check in Windows. (I assume that this is your operating system.)
