NETGEAR A6210 User Manual page 21

The Join a Network screen shows that the adapter is connected to the network and the
genie status bar at the bottom of the screen shows information about the network
connection. For more information about the status bar, see
and Details on page 25.
After the adapter joins the network, it saves the network connection information to a
Windows profile. Both NETGEAR genie and the Windows Wireless Network Connection
utility can use this profile. If the network information does not change, the next time that
you launch genie, the adapter connects automatically to the network that it joined
previously.
