Connection to Internet on startup

Well, I guess it's just the USB's fault...

Did you un-install the Netgear software before you tried installing the upgraded software? If not try that or try a different dongle as suggested earlier...

Ugh. I didn't uninstall anything because I already have the upgraded software.

Try it you may like it!

How would replacing the software with the same software help?

Its the uninstall and re-install that gets rid of any software based probs. Make sure you have the latest version of the software though!!

Yeah, I already uninstalled an re-installed it before. But, for you, I'll try again.

Oh wait, now I see... I have version 3.1 and you suggested version 3.0 .

I'm just trying to help.... maybe the previous version worked ..I don't know but all I do know is that I have been trawling the web for you, if thats not good enough...

No, I do appriciate what you've done. Really I do. I'm just saying that I've got to look somewhere else then the software/driver, since I've got the most recent one.
