    Hi,

    I've been trying to get my Netgear WG111t usb wireless adaptor to work under windows 7 but have had little luck.

    I've tried old drivers and got the latest drivers from the Netgear website.

    I've also tried disabling driver signature check but still no luck.

    Lastly I tried using the RealTek 8187B drier that apparently work with the wg111 v2 but still nothing, it know that it's plugged in but it won't recognise any of the drivers I've tried.

    Any help would be hugely appreciated because I'm about ready to give up :-(

    Thanks

    I installed and use without problem both Netgear's WN111 and WNDA3100 USB adapters. I simply installed following the Netgear installers.
    Your is an install problem or you can't connect using you WG111?

     It's an install problem. Basically I run the netgear installer and then at the end when it says to plug in the adaptor, I do so and click OK and nothing happens. I've tried using the old drivers that came with it and new drivers from the netgear website.

    I've read on some forums that it might be due to the driver signature check but after disabling the signature check and re-trying the isntall process I still had no luck.

    My PC knows that it's there because it appears in device manager it's just that I can't get the drivrs to install properly.

    My next attempt might be to do a clean install of vista on the hard drive and then upgrade it to wondows 7 and see if the drivers persist through the update.

    Again, thanks for any help anybody can give, if I have any luck I'll post it here in case anybody else ahs the same issue.

    Hi, any luck with this?

    I have the same adapter (WG111T) in a dual boot (Vista Ultimate/Windows7) system.
    Each OS on separate drives.
    Dual boot into Vista no problems, good connection to the network @54mbps.
    Dual boot into Windows7 and nothing.

    Same problem.
    Device manager recognized it but that was all.
    Both Vista and Windows7 had it in the same port, Port_#0003.Hub_#0003.
    No conflicts shown.
    Tried uninstall/re-install updating, static IP's.
    Disconnected the Vista drive and got it to work that way, must have been a conflict I couldn't find.
    Good connection to the network @54mbps.

    Tried a Belkin wireless N1 router and adapter using their Vista drivers and no more problems.
    Dual boots fine, even got an increase in signal strength to 150mbps.

    Hey guys,

    I have uploaded a modified driver for the Netgear WG111T that works for Windows 7 x64, and I assume will also work for x86 and also the same flavours of Vista

    http://www.sendspace.com/file/fyovi3

    It is based on the Siemens Gigaset 108 USB Stick drivers which fully support x64 flavours of Windows, but the inf file has been modified to work with this hardware. As the devices share the same chipset, the drivers are compatible

    Any questions, contact me at raf1@scidhuv.plus.com

    Cheers

    How do I install this driver? I have no way of accessing the internet without my wireless adapter because of the location of my modem/router, so I hesitate to upgrade to windows 7 until I have the proper driver installed.

    The reason is because the WG111T isnt supported on Windows 7, I have windows 7 and i learned this out a couple of hours ago.Look on netgear.com and on the home page you should see a link saying "Windows 7 Compatible Devices"

    Hi Guys,

    Just to let you know I've ended up putting a guide together with the correct zipped up drivers on how to do this. (for Family :S)

    Tutorial might help someone.

    See the other post above from Ryan.
    Thanks for your guide Oliver. The instructions are great but the file isn't. It was not recognised by the Netgear WG111T in Windows 7. However the file posted by Ryan above and quoted here does work effectively. Cheers.

    Hi, I followed the tutorial and got my Netgear WG111T working, thanks very much. But now I have another problem - my PC can see 3 of my neighbours' connections, but not mine. Mine is working as my old PC (XP) can use it, and so can this laptop (Vista). Any ideas please?

    Ryan & Oliver,  what a team!  A thousand thanks for getting a Netgear product to do what it says on the tin (ie work) when Netgear can't.

    Further to my fulsome praise of Ryan & Oliver, none of which I detract, I have just had a response from Netgear saying that the WG111T can indeed be made to work on 64 bit Win 7.

    Here are their instructions:

    --------------------------

    Step I: Uninstall Drivers

    1 Click start - control panel - Add/remove programs - Select Netgear WG111T - remove

    or

    2 Click Start - Program files - Select Netgear WG111T Smart Wizard - uninstall

    You can also uninstall the drivers from SAFE MODE. Please restart the computer and Press F8 to boot the computer in SAFE MODE. Uninstall the drivers from safe mode. Reboot the computer in normal mode and install the new drivers.

    Step II: Install the Adapter

    Please click on the link below and follow the steps to download and install the latest driver for the adapter. http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/Disclaimer.aspx?redirecturl=http://netgeardownload.registria.com/single_page_registration?product[sku]=wg111t&download_url=http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WG111T/wg111t_2_1_setup.zip

    NOTE: In this window you will see the option "Click here to download" right click on it and select the option "save target as" and save it to your desktop.

    1 Open the Setup Program from the extracted folder by double clicking it. Select Install Driver/Utility option in the menu displayed on your screen.

    2 Click Next to accept the license agreement.

    3 Click Next to install in the default directory.

    4 Click Next, if a message appears while the software is installing. When you get the Error Windows Logo, you have to click continue anyway.

    5 Proceed with the software installation process and click Finish to complete the setup.

    6 Plug in the adapter now into any one of the USB slots in your computer. It will find the new hardware which is plugged and displays the Hardware installation wizard.

    7 Proceed with the installation wizard for automatic installation and click Finish to complete the wizard. Restart the computer after installation.

    Step III: Netgear Utility

    Please follow steps to configure the wireless computer using NETGEAR utility:

    1 Double click the NETGEAR icon on system tray with green/red screen or double click on the NETGEAR smart wizard icon on the desktop.

    2 Open the NETGEAR wireless smart configuration utility.

    3 Click on "Networks" tab and then click on scan.

    4 Once the scan completed, it will list the available wireless networks.

    5 Select your wireless network and click connect which will re-direct to the settings tab.

    6 If you have enabled a WEP security for the wireless network then please select the option "Enter the key manually" and enter the security key for the wireless network. But if the security is WPA please select WPA and re-enter the passphrase.

    7 Click Apply to save the settings.

    8 Click on "About" tab and check for the IP address.
    ---------------------------------------
    The reply goes on to request further information from the user if a valid IP address does not show.

    Unfortunately, none of the drivers provided here seem to work with Windows 8 x64.  All error out during driver install process.  Finally time to throw this adapter away I'm afraid.
