Netgear AC1200 USB WiFi Adaptor

Can I move the AC1200 WiFi USB adapter between two computers until I get to a store and buy a second WiFi adapter?  It is an hour drive one way, I work in the other direction, and there is just no time right now.  My husband wants internet access TONIGHT and he gets too frustrated doing computer stuff himself.  If I can, do I install it with the CD that came with it?  And if so, will I have to install it again when I purchase a new WiFi adapter as long as it is the same model?  If it is a different model, will it still work, or will I have to install with the new CD and WiFi adapter?  (when I bought this adapter, it was the last one in stock, but it works great)

Hi Dickie543,

 

You can install the adapter on a different computer. You can visit support site for the driver.

If you purchase the same model, no need to reinstall the driver.
