I think the problem is an installer issue and not a driver problem.

Hi there

I just had a new Windows 7 64 bit desktop delivered yesterday and bought a WG111v3 adaptor today. I too had problems installing the device. I tried downloading other drivers for XP and Vista but they didn't work.

In the end I followed the above advice and it worked fine. I didn't use any downloaded drivers - just the installation CD that comes with the adaptor.

Cheers

OK

I tried all the above and more. The dirver isn't recognized or if it is Win & says signature is not valid.

Bottom line: There isn't a Windows 7 64 bit driver that can be installed to operate the Netgear WG311V3

This product is being sold at Best Buy and Tiger Direct so it is not like it is too old to bother building a Win 7 driver. Netgear should quit putting out substandard, tentative drivers and make available a robust Windows 7 driver that actually works as it should.

Frustrating !

****due to compatible drivers now being available from both netgear and realtek, i will no longer be answering any email requests for compatible drivers. many thanks to all the people who provided feedback for my original custom driver :-)****

[soulasassin]

due to the fact that some people are still having issues using this adapter under windows 7, if you need help with this adapter email me and ill see if i can help you out with a working driver. i will however need your hardware ID number for the adapter from device manager :-)

Just got this card from TigerDirect - with many good reviews. The driver did not come in the box - not uncommon for a refurb I guess. However, the Win7 driver on the support website requires me to register this card using the serial number of the card. The serial number space on the card is blank. I tried the MAC for this field, but it was rejected.

How can I obtain the driver for the card I purchased?

I have always had great luck with NetGear, but this kind of sours me
