(More customer reviews)Okay, so I bought this router and adapter kit so I could do internet on my new desktop. I have my router set up by my home theater, whilst my gaming rig is on the side of my bed. I don't want to trip over an ethernet cord when I want to surf the web, or do multiplayer. The software that Netgear includes is great, it installs the software, but when it comes to trying to detect the adapter, no can do, and it IS in the USB slot. I uninstalled the software the CD had, and looked for the most updated drivers Netgear had for the adapter with compatibility for Windows 7 64-bit. However, to my chagrin, it is for the adapter WPN111, not WPN111v2, which this is, and the setup was completely different. Installed that software version 3.0 in here, it installed, the USB adapter lit up, but nothing came about with it being detected. Could this be due to Windows 7 not recognizing this adapter at all? Weird. Guess I'll have to trip over that dumb cable to be on the internet now...Oh well.
EDIT: Actually the drivers do claim to be installed, it's the Smart Wizard that's not compatible with Windows 7, that I know of. Somebody clarify how to get a stable setup. I may have to try this install with the CD version again. Yep, the adapter still can't be found, even tho it has been connected into a USB port. It's a cheap adapter, anyway, might look into an internal PCI adapter instead.
