setting up internet on windows 7 proffessional
hi i installed windows 7 proffessional a couple of days ago (previousley on xp) and still havnt managed to connect to the internet. i was connected fine before i went to win7. i am using a wireless usb stick to connect to my router. i have tryed installing the drivers for this, it appears to work however the light on the usb stick does not come on and i still cannot search for any networks. i have also tryed a spare wireless usb stick but still doesnt work.
any ideas guys? |

yes, the one ive always used and have a CD for is "NetGear WG111T"
and the spare on is a "edimax 802.11 g wireless lan usb adapter" or "edimax EW-7318ug" |

try the following
To note; this is the WG111T and NOT the WG111/v2/v3, which have different drivers. Step 1: Download the 2.1 drivers from netgear.com Step 2: Uninstall any failed attewmpts at installing it, and unplug the stick Step 3: Run the installation until it gets to the "plug in the stick" part. Do not plug in the stick: do not press next. Step 4: Using explorer, goto the place you started installing the software (usually c:\program Files(x86)\Netgear\WG111T\ Step 5: Copy the file "WG111Tvx.inf" from teh "Drivers" directory into the "Netgear Directory". You will need to say you're happy as an administrator to do this Step 6: Using the taskmanager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete then "start task manager") select the WG111T installation program under "applications" and then "end task" Step 7: Plug in the device Step 8: Either the window comes up to install the drivers, or goto control panel -> Hardware and sound -> Device manager Step 9: Select the WG111T from under "network adapters" Step 10: right-click on it and "Update Driver Software" Step 11: Select "browse my computer for driver software"; select where you put the WG111Tvx.inf Step 12: It will install the driver, and continue the software install. Continue to select teh appropriae settings. Step 13: The device should now be working and picking up networks. it tries to load the netgear software however for me that failed and I just used the windows config to select the network and put in the appropriate key. taken from http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/1...tallation.html |
