Netgear wn311b install
Hi.
Bear with me, I am new to this forum thing.
I am running windows 7 64-bit on a brand new pc, Intel core duo E7500, 2.93ghz, 4.00gb Ram.
My problem is getting a Netgear wn311b pci wireless card to work. I have tried installing it with Netgear's instructions followed to the letter. when I try and start the Smart Wizard app It does absolutely nothing. So I tried starting it in XP compatibility mode, ah! now it tells me that,"Netgear Wn311b wireless adaptor is not inserted". checking in device manager it seems Windows has found a Broadcom driver and installed it. Looking In Network and sharing centre, there it is "Broadcom 802.11N Network adaptor" Not connected, and it will not connect when asked, not even showing as recognising any networks. I uninstalled everything. Re installed without Netgear's software and let Windows find the drivers. Same result, shows up as there but doesn't do anything.
Help!! Please, If anyone can, I would be so gratefull, I am pulling my hair out here.
Andy.
Oh, I tried installing it all in an old XP machine and away it goes,absolutely perfect,so I know the hardware is ok.
