N300MA wifi adapter stopped working
I have looked around in regards to this device and I am very concerned by misinformed suggestions here. I have a N300MA wifi adapter I have been using on a windows 10 systems for 3 years and have ha...
There is no N300MA USB adapter.
N300 is an old wifi speed indicator that applies to dozens of different Netgear devices. Fr example, the WNA3100 USB adapter is an N300 device.
Actually, there is such adapter and exactly it is called "Netgear On Networks N300MA-199EES". But it's so old (WinXP era) that I'm amazed it even worked on windows 10. You simply have to buy something newer as it was a miracle that it worked, just be aware that all newest USB 3.0 adapters on the market are broken due to outdated realtek chipset kernel drivers so, before you buy it, make sure that producer have drivers updated this year. This is really important. Or just buy some PCIe adapter.

I checked the Netgear support system. It could not find it.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in that model number and reel back in shock.Where did you find it?
Google finds various "On Networks " devices, few of them in English, but they have nothing much to do with Netgear. If it was something that Netgear made for a third party some time back in the 20th century, then this is not the place to look for support.
Maybe there is an On Networks site somewhere out there.
Yeah, a lot of results mostly in eastern/central/south part of europe. Found various products, but depending on language, the "Netgear" part sometimes, not always, do occur in the name. Some sources indicates that this is "On Networks" company product, while some others that it is "Netgear" - which could be entirely different local company that do not exist anymore, or sellers simply misused Netgear here.

Anyway, as michael wrote, this is probably not product of Netgear, and even if it is, it's so old that even Netgear do not remember its existence so you probably won't get support for that device anywhere ;)

That made me chuckle.
In the past Netgear has made modems and routers for ISPs, but it does not support them here.
