I have an On Networks N150MA-199NAS wireless USB dongle. I tried finding a driver and the On Networks site referred me to Netgear. When I type in the product on Netgear it can't find it. I called the Netgear help line to find out how to locate the driver on the website and was told I'd have to pay a fee for the assistance of a tech support agent. I explained that I don't need technical support, I need to find out where to download a driver. No luch. I asked to speak to the reps supervisor and he informed me that he WAS the supervisor and either I agree to pay the fee or he couldn't do anything for me. I used to have high regard for the Netgear brand. No longer!
I did find an old post on this site (2015) about a driver that suggested the driver for the Netgear WNA1000M. When I install that driver it kept asking me to insert the adapter, even though I did (several times),
If anyone has any other suggestions I would be very appreciative.
Re: On Networks N150MA-199NAS driver not available
Thank you, DarrenM, for taking the time to reply. Since I mentioned in my post that I tried that driver, to no avail, I'm a little confused as to whether referring me to that page is
1. just a polite way of saying that if that driver doesn't work it's a case of "oh well, then I guess you're out of luck" or if
2. I didn't make it clear in my post that I had already gone to that page, downloaded and applied the driver and the driver didn't recogmize the presence of the On Networks N150M-199NAS device, so there might possibly be
a. some way to get another driver that MIGHT work, or
b. some trick I could try so that the WNA1000M driver will recognize the On Networks N150M-199NAS device.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my last post. I have tried using the adapter and driver with three different Windows operating systems: Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 10 Enterprise. The driver for the Netgear WNA1000M didn't work with any of them. In each case everything looks good until I get the promp to insert the adapter. I do that and click OK and the computer shows it is trying to set up the adapter, but after a while (a minute or two to over ten minutes) the prompt to insert the adapter comes up again.
