I installed the software from the CD, plugged in the adapter to my computer running Windows Vista, and the adapter didn't work. I looked online and found a solution. So here it is. I hope it works. Good luck! Nothing works! I have tried the v2 drivers but they only corrupt vista and chkdsk deletes the drivers on startup and further corrupts vista. I have tried v1. Windows have announced the WPN incompatiable with vista but netgear still produce so I guess that they will try to resolve this problem.
You could try the beta drivers but I am fed up of formatting and reinstalling vista so let me know if you try them and they work. I had exactly the same problem. Made sure I had deleted all Netgear drivers and utilities first. I downloaded latest drivers from Dell for my internal card Broadcom and the v2.
Then with the device manager, uninstalled the internal card and removed the drivers. Next, rebooted. Installed the WPN drivers along with the utility. 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. The Netgear utility worked right away and has continued to do so, as long as the Netgear card is in the USB slot.
Then reinstalled drivers for my internal card. It worked right away and connected locallly and to the Internet. Finally and get this: reinserted the WPN, and both adapters connected with different local addresses. Of course IE only uses one connection and prefers the internal card. 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 WPN But, once installed, the Netgear drivers are in like Flint and Vista seems to get along with them just fine.
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. However, some internal cards, and the Dell n card, in particular, do not make stable connections with some routers WPN in my case. The WPN sticks like glue to my router under all conditions, distance and speed. The internal card works great at most open sites. So I really like having use of both. In the compatibility tab, put a check next to Run in compatibility mode for and choose the OS as windows XP.
Apply and close the properties. Then again right click the driver. Then continue with the installation. It will be fixed. Now this might not be the solution to the issue about but for anyone that has Windows7 and keeps having the Netgear Wizard appear each time you startup - and then you have to manually configure net access each time. Well, my problem is a bit different. The download for 3. Office Office Exchange Server.
