I'm running a Netgear PS121v2 usb print server. It had no issues under XP but within Vista / Windows 7 there was a defect.
The driver for the V2 when installed came up as unsigned, therefore the installation wouldn't proceed any further.
I looked around the net, and a few people had found a workaround with installing the printer manually within Vista.
For me this still didn't work, as when the test page prints, it hangs one line from the end.
The netgear support site stated that the driver for the PS121v2 was compatible with XP through Vista 32 and 64bit.
So I took a chance and did the following:
Solution:
Download the Drivers for the PS121v1
The difference from what I gather after reading some technical papers is that the firmware in the v2 allows for sharing of the multifunctions of multifunction printers.
The PS121v1 software is signed for Vista and installed no problem.
I first connected the printer (an officejet 4100 series) to the PC and Windows 7 found all the necessary drivers. - impressive as HP's own site says that it doesn't support vista.
I then connected the printer to the PS121 on the router, and installed the PS121v1 drivers.
The drivers configure the existing printer setup to run on the printserver by modifying it's port details and settings.
But I cannot get my NEW Netgear N600 router to communicate with a NEW Netgear WN 3000 RP extender.The instructions say to press the WPS button on the extender then the WPS button on the router. No WPS button exists on the router!The instructions also I can use any wireless network manager utility to set this up. Can't find where this is in Windows 7.The I pad has found the NETGEAR_EXT address but won't connect. And the light on the extender does no indicate teh router is communicating with it.
I have 7 Ultimate. I was recently given a NetGear WG311 V3 54/mbs Pci card. Can't seem to find out why it won't work. So many things wrong in my Os atm, but this for now. I tried the Marvell driver. Nope! Absolutely nothing in my Devices and PrintersI installed the Smart Wizard. Again, nope! I tried un-installing and re-installing both. Same as before, nope! The software, when clicked, flashes a small icon in the tray, then, bam. Gone. I now have a signal bar, with a red cross, as if my device was disabled. (Like on a laptop.)
It has more of a driver issue than a hardware, but it could be a hardware issue. I desperatley need help, as if I don't get my brother's computer to have internet, I won't be able to use a new laptop I just ordered.
I have uploaded a modified Windows 7 x86/x64 driver for the USB Netgear WG111T
Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem! This is a modification of the drivers for the USB Siemens Gigaset 108, which has the same core Atheros 5523 chipset
It should be compatible with the following operating systems:Windows 7 (x64) - tested this myself, the others are not yet tested Windows 7 (x86) Windows Vista (x64) Windows Vista (x86) Hope this helps everyone!
i can not get my netgear WG311v3 54MB wireless pci adapter to work Device manager say the device cannot start (code 10)
so i tried update drivers and windows says i have the most up todate drivers for it. so i uninstalled the driver to try and get windows to reinstall the drivers but it fails any help please. i have looked on the netgear website and they say wwindows should install the drivers automatically, but no.
I'm using a pci wireless adapter chip, Netgear wg311v3 I installed the netgear driver automatically, and then installed the netger smart wizard. However, the smart wizard will not start up. I've done some research, and apparently netgear doesn't make 64bit drivers. I've also tried using the chipset driver which is a Marvell 88w8335. But I may not have used the right driver.
To sum it up:
I have a netgear wg311v3 adapter. Running Windows 7 64bit. It won't run the wizard.
I just purchased a Netgear 3500 Gigabyte router. The NetGear site indicates that their 3500v2 supports Window 7 but I cannot determine when they will support the 3500 I own. Anyone Know? Read a review that my version can be installed MANUALLY. Any COMMENTS? Next driver problem... Neither the NetGear nor the Lynksys wireless adaptors have Windows 7 drivers(dualband, rangemax, gigagyte adaptors).
I just installed the Windows 7 upgrade. My printer would not print so I called Dell. I was on the phone with them for 3 hours trying to get it to print. They eventually told me that my wireless router, (Netgear WNR2000) had a wrong IP address of 168. something. They told me I had to change it to a 192. number. They further told me to change to WEP. I went to the wireless site and typed in 192.168.1.1 and logged in. I changed it to WEP but then the internet would not work. I do not know what to do. Can someone please help me?
I have Windows 7 64 bit. I bought a Netgear DGN2000 approximately two years ago. It is working well. Currently, there is good connectivity between my laptop and the modem/router (wired and wireless).
I worked on my desktop this morning, uninstalled some programmes, but must have uninstalled a driver or something. I inserted the Resource CD, which installs the modem (although it is installed). Then it stalls at some point. If I troubleshoot, it states Windows do not detect a properly installed network adaptor.
i have a WG121 Netgear Wireless Adapter 54Mbps, the driver for it works flawlessly on Windows 7 32 Bit, however i am very keen to try out the 64 bit, but when i installed it, the adapter did not work, i was wondering if any of you people know a driver i can use for it on 64 bit. it would be much appreciated as my newly upgraded computer is wasted on a 32 bit operating system.
The drivers for my WG111 won't work with Windows 7 rev 7000.
It says they are unsigned in the device manager, and that is why windows doesn't like them.
I have tried the following:
1. Running the software in compatibility mode:
2. BCDedit.exe set testing, signing, etc.
Still no luck, and i can't seem to find the driver without the software installer and the software sort of halfway hangs at the end of the installation when I am trying to install, and I think this is the problem.
I thought I share some easy fix for the Netgear Wireless USB WG111v2 Driver Installation problem that worked for me.
Very simple!! Instead of trying to install the driver software and going thru the complicated process....
1. Just plug your ethernet cable into the computer so your computer will have internet access.
2. Plug your Netgear Wireless USB device into the USB port and wait a few seconds and Window 7 will go and retrieve your driver and install everything for you.
I am considering the purchase of a NetGear ReadyNas Ultra 2 Plus for my home network.At the present time, I have a file server that is about 6 years old running an old pair of 200GB hard drives.While these drives are not mirrored, they are synchronized multiple times per day using Robocopy.I've reached the point where I don't want to manage and maintain a server (windows or linux) to provide simply storage on my network. By going with a NAS device, I can eliminate OS patches and updates and having to maintain another device. The NAS device will consume less power than my server, and take less physical space.And these NAS devices have DNLA built-in, so streaming from my PS3 and 360 should be simple. And the particular version of this NAS device offers iSCSI target support...which i could take advantage of in my virtual lab at home.
I've found the Ultra 2 Plus for $379 from Amazon.This model has the dual core atom processor, which is advertised and reviewed to provide around 30% more performance than the single core atom offering.. I'm planning to add a pair of 2TB Seagate Barracude Green 64MB Cache and run them in the mirrored Netgear X-RAID2 setup. This provides a mechanism so that I can actually replace the 2TB drives later with larger drives without having to backup and restore data to the device.Any particular reason you guys can think of to say this is a bad idea? With both drives, I'm looking at $619 for a small, silent device, which allows hot-swap drives, easy sharing and support for my 360/PS3 and it provides 2TB of mirrored storage space.
I recently bypassed my previous BSOD issue by simply replacing my HDD with a SSD and doing a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Pro.
Where the computer is currently located, I need to run wireless internet. To do this, I have used a NetGear wireless adapter "WNDA3100v2". It's a nice adapter, and it's worked fine for about 2 years, including immediately prior to adding my new SSD.
So I fire up my fresh copy of windows, and install my critical software. Once all of that is sorted, I go to install the drivers from the CD. I insert the USB adapter, and click next.
As soon as the adapter is inserted, Windows begins searching for a driver which fails. On the same instant that I click next, the proprietary software for the device says "detecting". This stays this way infinitely it seems, and never detects the device. If I just yank the adapter out, it will say "failed to detect", so this leads me to believe it is at least aware that it's there?
I tried to backdoor it, and ran a wired connection through my window, down the outside of the house, to my router LOL, and forced Windows to search for it's own updated driver. On most occasions, it just says "failed", but I was able to get it to find one last night, and it downloaded to 100% before it just hung up for a while, and then "failed".
I am trying to set up WPA security on my new Dell Inspiron Laptop,When I go to "Help and Support" for instructions it says:"The Set Up a Network wizard will guide you through setting up a security key.Click to open Set Up a Network."My problem is when I "Click to open Set up a Network" it only shows my neighbor's router [A Linksys WRT110]. My Netgear WGR614v6 does not show up as an option to connect to.
i can't seem to get my netgear wg111v2 wireless usb to work. I know there are a lot of known problem with this device and windows 7.My problem is that i have configured it correctly i think, but it does not find my network. I'm using windows to find networks and not the netgear program.
So I am having to the same problem that a lot of other people are having. And my house-mate refuses to blame anything other than Windows 7. It was fine for about 2 days, then I get the dreaded Triangle, and it saying I have 'No Network Access', I troubleshoot to no avail, at first it was just that I was connected to the network, but no access type.
I have tried everything. BUT on top of this constant disconnection every few hours, my house-mate says his Limited or No Connectivity is because of this. He refuses to believe otherwise, because it all started messing up once I got Windows 7, he has XP btw - we share nothing except Internet.
We did have duplicate IPs when my network decided to reconnect at some random time, so I did a /release /renew and it seems to have fixed that. But its almost like we both cant be on at the same time.
I have disabled IPv6. And I checked, both my firewall, and his.
And I also reloaded the Firmware to the router, but cant get the newest one because it downloads as a .chk file and my router doesn't accept that file type (if anyone can give me some pointers on that too)
The router is a Netgear DG834v5. This is the firmware I cant seem to use -
Answer
My network card is a Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Controller, with up to date drivers. Screen-shots included for extra thoroughness. Please help, or hes going to make me uninstall, or just keep me unplugged. And yes, he IS what your thinking.
