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 adapter for better wireless communication. The connection speed can vary depending on the type of USB port on your computer, the capacity 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 regulations 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 connection 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 address. icon to open NETGEAR genie. Then click the Other button to view the IP No IP address is assigned to the USB adapter. IP address assignment can be lost if you upgraded 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. Maintenance 21
