Netgear Wn311b Drivers For Mac

Posted on by

Hi all, been a while since I've been here. Mainly because everything has been smooth So I wanted to try and setup a wifi card and I read that the wn311b was compatible with the broadcom enabler. Installed it and in windows the power light on the back of the car.

I have found a driver that works with the Netgear WN311B PCI Wireless adapter. It from Lenovo and I am getting great bandwidth and stability for the old adaptor, 7.7 to 11Mbps constant.

Netgear Drivers For Mac

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. 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. 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... 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. 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. The adaptor reciever is two feet away from my Netgear Wireless N Router and it was much more stable on the XP machine. I was just curious when or where there might be a driver that better suits the windows 7 64 bit platform. Any info would be awesome. Thanks -jon-
