Netgear Wn311b Rangemax Wireless N Adapter Review

  • 11 years ago
So everyone having issues installing this in WINDOWS 7 (64 bit) I figured out how to do it. First you install the software from the disk (includes drivers) then shutdown, install the adapter in PCI slot, reboot and once your logged in youll probably notice that Windows could not install drivers for this device not to mention under Computer Management (Rightclick Computer select managedevice, other device) it shows the device isnt installed properly the fix is to select the device under other device (this is your network adapter), select update driver then manually search for your driver, now to find it you need to go through program files (x86), Netgear folder open, and you will see a drivers folder (dont open but select and okay) here is the actual path for 64 bit default C\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR\WN311B\Driver now windows 7 will connect these drivers to your adapter. PRESTO Your adapter will now launch set up wizzard and youll be good to go. Signal strength is slightly better than other adapters Ive used but you do have to point the face of the RangeMax at your router location, just manuever it til you see the signal improve. Much better than USB adapters. Drivers are a pain to install, otherwise this wouldve probably gotten better marks. http://garyadair.com/324629
