Netgear Genie unable to find adapter
My adapter worked fine until today, when I installed wrong drivers for alot of my hardware. The adapter stopped connecting to my WiFi, telling me that my connection is limited (Usually it shows the default connected icon with a warning sign if your connection is limited, but it just shows the icon for when you're not connected to any network, but there are ones available): and Netgear Genie wouldn't launch, so I reinstalled Netgear Genie, and now it wont detect the adapter, but I can still try to connect to the different WiFis via the adapter in my area, but I always get the connection is limited error. I have tried plugging the adapter into different usb ports etc. but nothing so far has worked. Picture is how it looks when I try to connect to any network (Without Genie working). Thanks in advance!

Is that an error you see in Windows?
Try using the network troubleshooter.

If this is in Windows, remove all the old drivers and reinstall the ones for your wifi device.
If it isn't too late, you can find a Windows restore point and roll your system back to before you installed those wrong drivers.
