Hi. I bought the a6100 wifi adapter about a year ago which I used, but since moved house and used Ethernet connection, but now need to use the Adapter again. Same PC, I plug in the adapter the genie pops up but won’t recognise the modem we use which is also nwtgear. I try to setup the “push n connect” but the led light isn’t coming on. Maybe the adapter is broken, but that doesn’t make much sense as my pc recognises it when plugged in...
You put you're trying to connect to a netgear modem. If its a modem, there should be a router as well or at least it be a combo device. More info here will help. What netgear router are you conneting to? Firmware on it?
What driver are you using for the adapter? Have you updated it recently?
Thanks for your help mate, I uninstalled and then fresh installed with updated drivers. I can now connect to my internet through the genie. The problem is though my internet settings is saying no internet, secured. Do you know what could be stopping this? I attached a pic to show what I’m getting. Also sorry for the lack of terminology etc I’m kind of out of the loop on these kinds of things.
No I didn’t do it exactly like that, just uninstalled everything inserted the CD and re installed. Shall I do it that way? Also I’m logged in on my router, but can’t find connected devices.. and yes my wifi is working on my phone, PS4 etc.
I would do it the way I suggest. Also don't use the cd. download the software from netgear's support site I linked to. Just use that.
You don't put what router you're using so its hard to tell you where your connected pages would be. Its manual should have it. But if you can log into the router from the computer running the A6100, its working. Just something is a slighly off.
