NETGEAR Genie Icon

When you install your adapter, the 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 wireless network. The color of the 
icon indicates the strength of your wireless connection from 0 (zero) to 5 bars. 

 Green: 3 to 5 bars

 Yellow: 1 or 2 bars

 Red: 0 (zero) bars, indicating no connection

If you remove your adapter, NETGEAR Genie is not available, so the icon does not 
display. if you insert the adapter again, the icon returns.

Using the USB Cable

You can use the USB cable and adapter cradle to extend the range of your adapter 
and obtain better wireless reception. Insert the adapter in the plastic cradle and 
attach the USB cable to the adapter and the computer.
