What to do if connection was not established to the selected network on NETGEAR Adapter?
- T
  Timothy HopkinsJul 26, 2025
  If a connection to the selected network isn't established, it might be due to an incorrectly typed network name, passphrase, or key. Click Cancel, then use the Smart Wizard to select the network from the list and retype the passphrase or key. Also, verify that your wireless network is running, and the router is turned on. Consider moving the Internet adapter closer to the router and clicking Try Again. If issues persist, upgrading to a router with greater wireless range or purchasing a range extender could help.

  A red WLAN LED on the Internet adapter indicates a poor wireless connection or that no data is being sent over the wireless link. First, try using your computer to access the Internet. Check the location of the Internet adapter and the router. Ensure there are no physical obstacles between the Internet adapter and the router, and try moving the Internet adapter closer to the router.
