I have a computer running Netgear USB Control Center/ReadyShare Printer version 1.8, with driver version 1.83.35. The software works great to connect to my router's USB printer. The only version of USB Control Center that I have been able to find on Netgear's website is version 1.35. That 1.35 version works, but not as well as version 1.8. What happened to version 1.8? Is it still available somewhere?765Views0likes2CommentsExternal wifi card
January 22, 2022 I want to connect my HP PC to my Visio TV. My computer does not have a wifi card. Microsoft has a utility that will connect my PC to my TV if I can connect the PC and TV to the same wifi network. I am told that I need an external wifi card for PC with a USB connector to do that. Does Netgear have such a piece of hardware that will allow me to view computer programs, music, etc on my TV? If so, what's it called and what is the cost? Thanks for your help.

This is VERY annoying. When I typed the model into the search box, it doesn’t even show up! Today I purchased the nighthawk AC1900 wifi USB adapter, model No. A7000. I put the disk in, went through the set up, and I made sure to do the check for updates, it said there was, so I installed it. I then went through the setup process. After it setup, I put the adapter on the desktop dock and plugged it in. Everything seemed fine. I went to my desktop and saw a new application: “NETGEAR A7000 Genie”. The instruction paper told me to open it, so I did. I sat there for 5 minutes before I realized it wasn’t doing anything. I tried and tried, still nothing. I decided it wasn’t working, so I tried connecting it with WPS. I held the button on the adapter for 2 seconds, then pressed the wps button on the router. I go back to the computer, absolutely nothing. I opened the file location of the genie app and I pressed the app named “ReStart” because that’s what it was trying to open. I then pressed the app “A7000” thinking it might do something. Absolutely nothing. I restarted my computer and tried to open the app again, nothing. I can’t find anything on this product and I can’t find any person to talk to on the website, so I decided to post on the forum. I’m sorry to be annoying, but this is very frustrating because I paid 55$ for this adapter, went through the entire setup process, and now I can’t connect it to the internet. I hope someone on here can help, otherwise I’m going to return it to the store.Solved14KViews0likes2CommentsAC21000 wifi adapter software won't work
I'm running Win 10. When attempting to run the software, the adapter is not detected. When running the standalone, I am prompted more than once to insert the device followed but an installing query and then it repeats.

modem does not have wifi - can I use WNA1000Mv2 N150 to connect to android? My internet router does not have wifi - I would like to transfer some files to my galaxy s8, would this product be able to do this, or would I need a much more expensive solution? My friend uses 'airdroid' to connect - even though his computer is only connected by wire to his wifi modem, it will find the right IP adress to type into his internet browser, so he can manage all the contents of his android.. :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid1.9KViews0likes3CommentsDrive Errors, Can't Connect - A7000
I have tried numerous times now... I used the disk that came with the A7000 I just purchased brand new. I selected the full Genie app first, then the app installed, Windows 10 said we are all good with the driver...then I tried to connect to my network. After putting in the pass, the device disconnected from the computer and the application won't open now. When I go in to device manager, it says there is a driver error. I've un-installed, re-installed, deleted everything I could find with NETGEAR on it, tried again, tried the Standalone version, tried the BETA 1.0.0.13 version...nothing works. Any suggestions would be great.Solved28KViews0likes6Comments
