Hello,
I installed a WG311v3 wireless adaptor a couple of days ago. Initially it was slightly troublesome - it would regularly drop connection if using the Netgear utility provided. However, I switched to the Microsoft utilities which worked fine. Yesterday, I upgraded the drivers provided by Netgear from the Windows update site and everything started working brilliantly (via the Netgear utility).
This morning things were still working well until I tried to copy a 500Mb file from another computer on the network. It almost completed (it was up to '10 seconds remaining') when the PC froze.
I had to press the reset button and when it all came back to life, the Netgear utility didn't seem to appear and , upon checking Device Manager it seemed that there was no mention of the wireless adaptor. I tried rebooting... still no mention. I shut down, unplugged the computer, replugged the computer and rebooted... still not there!
I'm not sure what to do now. It was all working so well!
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
Daz
