When clicking on the icon, "invalid filename" flashed twice before the SmartWizard would open. The Netgear SmartWizard first showed up minimized with the green radio icon on the taskbar, then just the red icon on the corner toolbar. When the PC was rebooted, the WPN111 didn't automatically connect. This caused some confusion and created two copies of my network in the scan (more on that below).Ģ. The WEP/WPA encription had to be configured after the SmartWizard is installed.

The install screen only allowed unsecured installation. It worked the first time but not without bugs.ġ. Ran the Netgear Setup Wizard and followed instructions to let it install the h/w. Just installed a new WPN111 2.0 in Vista. The internal card works great at most open sites. The WPN111 sticks like glue to my router under all conditions, distance and speed. However, some internal cards, and the Dell 1505n card, in particular, do not make stable connections with some routers (WPN824 in my case).

I also think that Netgear designed the drivers for Vista computers that did not come with internal cards, figuring that they would not be used anymore. But, once installed, the Netgear drivers are in like Flint and Vista seems to get along with them just fine. I have a strong hunch that as long as Vista had access to an internal card through its drivers, then it refused to properly load drivers for the WPN111. Of course IE only uses one connection and prefers the internal card. Finally and get this: reinserted the WPN111, and both adapters connected with different local addresses. It worked right away and connected locallly and to the Internet. Then reinstalled drivers for my internal card. After this I pulled the WPN111 out of the USB slot. The Netgear utility worked right away and has continued to do so, as long as the Netgear card is in the USB slot. Worked like a charm ! Followed directions on the Wizard and the blue light started flashing and Vista recognized the adapter and created a connection to the router and the Internet. Installed the WPN 111 drivers along with the utility. Then with the device manager, uninstalled the internal card and removed the drivers. I downloaded latest drivers from Dell for my internal card (Broadcom) and the v2.0 drivers from Netgear. Made sure I had deleted all Netgear drivers and utilities first.

To install the NETGEAR WiFi USB adapter software or standalone driver on Microsoft Windows with downloaded software:

Because NETGEAR does not have access to and cannot provide support for built-in Windows drivers, we recommend that you install the official NETGEAR drivers for your WiFi USB adapter. If your computer uses Microsoft Windows 7 or newer, Windows might automatically install drivers for your adapter when you plug it in. If you have prior experience with PC networking and prefer to manage your WiFi devices and connections through Windows, you can install the standalone driver without NETGEAR genie. If you are not very comfortable with PC networking, we recommend that you install the NETGEAR genie WiFi adapter software for easier setup. You must install the NETGEAR genie WiFi adapter software or a standalone driver to use your NETGEAR WiFi USB adapter on your Microsoft Windows PC.
