Driver Upgrade Guide
The guide is quite comprehensive and long so please make sure you understand all before attempting to install the driver.
- Download the updated Windows Vista driver (work in Windows XP/2000 too).
- Uninstall the old driver:
Start > All Programs > NETGEAR WG311T Smart Wizard > Uninstall NETGEAR WG311T Software.
- Click [Next] for all options. When uninstallation is done, please shut down and power of your PC.
- Time to take out the Netgear WG311T. I do not understand why Netgear require user to take out the card during driver installation.
- Anyway, ground yourself by touching on unpainted metal surface on the outside back of the computer case.
- Note the PCI slot your Netgear WG311T sit. Then take your Netgear WG311T out and restart your PC.
- When Windows restarted, install the new driver by running the downloaded wg311t_5_0_setup.exe
- Shut down your PC and put back your Netgear WG311T card to the same PCI slot.
- Restart your PC again. Continue with the rest of the driver installation by selecting the country, select to use NETGEAR Smart Wizard and Network Name (SSID) of your choice.
- Save the profile and now you should be able to connect to the Internet.
