WG111T installation
Credit for this solution goes to someone at the following site:
Vidddler.com
To note; this is the WG111T and NOT the WG111/v2/v3, which have different drivers.
Step 1:
Download the 2.1 drivers from netgear.com
Step 2:
Uninstall any failed attewmpts at installing it, and unplug the stick
Step 3:
Run the installation until it gets to the "plug in the stick" part. Do not plug in the stick: do not press next.
Step 4:
Using explorer, goto the place you started installing the software (usually c:\program Files(x86)\Netgear\WG111T\
Step 5: Copy the file "WG111Tvx.inf" from teh "Drivers" directory into the "Netgear Directory". You will need to say you're happy as an administrator to do this
Step 6: Using the taskmanager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete then "start task manager") select the WG111T installation program under "applications" and then "end task"
Step 7: Plug in the device
Step 8: Either the window comes up to install the drivers, or goto control panel -> Hardware and sound -> Device manager
Step 9: Select the WG111T from under "network adapters"
Step 10: right-click on it and "Update Driver Software"
Step 11: Select "browse my computer for driver software"; select where you put the WG111Tvx.inf
Step 12: It will install the driver, and continue the software install. Continue to select teh appropriae settings.
Step 13: The device should now be working and picking up networks. it tries to load the netgear software however for me that failed and I just used the windows config to select the network and put in the appropriate key.
I'm hoping this helps: I'm posting it because I spent about 8 hours trying to find the problem, and this site came closest.
