I have just purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium PC and want to use the Netgear WNDA3100 wireless adapter to access my dual band n wireless network. Netgear doesn't have the drivers yet and can't tell me when they will have them. Anyone know of a dual band adapter that will work?
Same issue applies to me, PC built with new components and install of Win7 Ultimate with no ability of obtaining a Wireless connection. Quite Rediculous!
N.B I have exactly the same Wireless Card and there doesn't seem to be any type of resolution available from Netgear!
I'm going to assume this came with a driver cd? If so they have Vista drivers? Place cd in drive. right click on that drive and click open in new window>find the setup.exe file>right click to properties>compatibility.check the run in compatibility mode choose either XP or Vista>install as administrator. This has worked with other driver issues hopefully yours as well good luck and welcome to seven froums.

Hello Bullmoose, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Netgear as a Vista driver available at their website link below that should work in Windows 7. If it does not install normally, then you may need to use Compatibility Mode on the driver to install it.

Hope this helps,

I am using windows 7 and Netgear USB Adapter WNDA3100v2. The resource disk contained the software and it installed without a hitch.
Older versions of the adapter seem not to work with 7.
WNDA3100 64 Bit - Home
Netgear never created drivers for 64bit computers for the original wnda3100! But I know how to get it working! Just check out the website! Thanks!

To an admin, if you could make this a sticky that would be awesome 'cause "ryanandkevin's" solution works flawlessly, and this could help a ton of people.
I've used these drivers on three different WNDA3100 adapters for over a week now and they work great!!!
Thanks again ryanandkevin for a great soultion!!
