Check Your Connection Status
When you install your adapter, the adapter’s NETGEAR genie icon displays in the
Windows system tray and on the desktop. You can double-click this icon to open
NETGEAR genie to make changes or connect to a different WiFi network. The color
of the icon indicates the strength of your WiFi connection:
White. Strong connection
Yellow. Weak connection
Red. No connection
If you remove your adapter, NETGEAR genie is not available, so the icon does not
display. When you insert the adapter again, the icon returns.
