netgrar nighthawk ac1900

I purchased a netgear wifi adapter NightHawk AC1900.  I was instructed not to plug in the device into the usb until the installation CD was run.  I have no external or internal cd drive for PC (only a mac, but it does not work with the PC).  So, I got a long blue ethernet cable and plugged it into the modem across the room. I clicked the download button, but I don't know if it is installed.  How do I know?  I hesitate to go any further because of the warning on the netgear hardware piece.  I always used a mac, and my office had IT people available...so I never bothered to learn how to do such tasks on the PC.  Now I am retired and up the creek.

 I contacted support and now and reaching out to the community.

You must mean the A7000 adapter.  I'm moving your post to the correct forum for wifi adapters.

 

You can try contacting Netgear support via my.netgear.com.
