How about something with actual support, like fedora or ubongo, and not some meme zoomer distro?
Just go to Mint. Why would you install it before finding this out in a live session?
>ubuntu
garbage. Wont even consider it
>fedora
that was what I originally intended to put on this machine, actually. So I might do that instead. With that being said, it still doesn't address my issue, unless fedora has netgear drivers by default it makes no difference.
the internet worked in a live session, it stopped working after I had finished installing it.
Run live session first like other user suggested.

That was a pleasant surprise.
Meme as it's "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture (...)". That's why it's so popular lately.
It's a hobbyist distro, made by incompetent devs: rentry.co
The same u did ? Get the kernel packages into the offline computer. Or use other connection
If you have an Android phone you can use USB tethering to connect to the internet.

When I look that up it says my phone needs to be rooted. Does it?

This.
install gentoo
No, it's available in the settings under WiFi & Internet > Hotspot & Tethering.

you're gonna have that problem on any distro, just go through all the github results for the driver you need and when you find one that actually works for you, bookmark that github cause you'll likely need it again at some point
I've also had that issue with my adapter. I just throw my drive in the computer with a wired connection and install the driver I need, and also you usually need to install some kernel headers if they don't automagically get installed when you update.
