802.11ac USB WiFi Adapter (A6200)
How can I improve the speed of my wireless connection?
You can use the USB cable and USB adapter that came in the package to position the USB
a
dapter for better wireless communication.
The connection speed can vary depending on the type of USB port on your computer, the
cap
acity of the router or access point for the wireless network, and the type of Internet
connection. You can view the throughput in the status bar at the bottom of the Smart Wizard
screen.
• If the
throughput is 54 Mbps, you could be connected to an 802.11g network, or the
wireless-N network could be set with WPA (TKIP) security.
When WPA (TKIP) security mode is configured on the router or access point, WiFi
re
gulations allow the USB adapter to connect only at up to 54 Mbps. For a faster
connection, configure the security for the router or access point as WPA2 or
WPA + WPA2 mixed wireless security. The co
nnection speed still depends on the
wireless capacity of the router or access point.
• If you do
not have a USB 2.0 port on your computer, the throughput is limited to the
14 Mbps of the older USB 1.1 standard.
How can I view the IP address for the USB adapter?
Click the icon to open NETGEAR genie. Then click the Othe
r button to view the IP
address.
No IP address is assigned to the USB adapter.
IP address assignment can be lost if you up
graded your USB adapter software and did not
reboot your computer. To correct this problem, either restart your computer, or connect to a
different access point.
