I just installed a Netgear WN311B wireless network adapter, and I've been having trouble getting the drivers installed. ![]() I was just curious when or where there might be a driver that better suits the windows 7 64 bit platform. The adaptor reciever is two feet away from my Netgear Wireless N Router and it was much more stable on the XP machine. I went to the netgear site and grabbed and old 64 bit Vista driver for the card and now it works! Only thing is that the connection speed depleats almost immediatly to around 100Mbps and as low as 40Mbps. then disconnect from my internet connection and tell the device manager to search for hardware changes so the card would come up without the bad driver being automatically installed again. ![]() The broadcom driver does not actually work with the WN311B adaptor and I had to go into the device manager and unload the Broadcom driver and the card. The WN311B is listed as a supported device on the windows 7 supported devices list and a Broadcom driver is instantly and automatically installed when the PCI card is installed into the motherboard. I have a NetGear WN311B wireless N network adapter that was running smoothly until I tried to install it on my new windows 7 PC.
