Hi,
I got a new WG311T wireless adatper card today, to go with the WGT624 wireless router. I have had all sorts of problems getting it to install and connect properly, but finally I seem to have a connection that is working.
I have found the following problems:
- The Wireless assistant app does not seem to start correctly. I see it running in task manager (wlancfg.exe), but no ICON in the sys tray nor the user interface. I managed to see the UI once, and that was just after the installation, and then I was getting exceptions and errors. Now I have rebooted all I see is the little wireless network connection icon in the systray, but cannot activate the Netgear assistant.
- I can only seem to connect at 54Mbs. I have WPA-PSK enabled on the router and card. The manual says not a lot about why this happens. My signal strength is showing " very good" and shows between 3-5 bars on the properties tab.
- I looked on the netgear site for updated drivers. The version installed from the CD appears to be 4.0.0.167, dated 10/02/2005. The latest non beta version on the website seems to be 3.3, with the beta version reading 4.3. The 4.3 version does not seem to work properly. I did the installation of that but could not get the card connected to the router using it.
Can anyone shed some light on these issues?
Thanks,
Steve
