Netgear Hardware and Software

[Zastrus]

This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to use the wireless router without using the NetGear software?

I keep getting BSODs with WG311T13.sys(or .dll, I forget).

I uninstalled/reinstalled, and chose for Windows to run the wireless router, and there is this icon in the bottom right taskbar, it looks like a little computer with a green moniter, and antenna on top of it, when i put the mouse over it, it says: "NETGEAR WG311T is connected to NETGEAR 11_g" so that is obviously causing the bluescreens...

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah just use the windows based software to connect, or directly plug yourself in.

If you're also using their wireless NIC, uninstall the drivers and get drivers from www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Yeah, I never used the disc that Netgear provided. I just plugged everything in, turned it on and it automatically started setting up. All I did was plug in login info and password for my AT&T Yahoo! DSL account and BAM! Done.

Hmm... anyone got a link to the program they used instead of NetGear?

It's built into Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4.
