Then click browse my computer for driver softwareħ. Right Click wlan 2.0 usb device (Something like that)Ħ.
In order to do this go into device manager, and find your wlan 2.0 usb that isn't recognized in your computer! Download the files that I'll give you and manually install them! Heres how:Ĥ.
Make sure to install wnda3100 software first without driver!Īlso, this is only been tested in windows 7 64bit! Please use at your own risk, we are not responsible for anything that goes wrong, but it 100% works! If you post this on another forum, give Kevin H the credit! Thanks! Hi guys, my brother found a little work around to get wnda3100 working on 64bit computers, it works 100%! So all credit goes to Kevin H. If you want to make the jump to 64bit, I recommend you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 for compatibility reasons. In short, Windows XP 64bit is not a great choice of operating system. This has lead to nearly all new devices supporting both 32bit and 64bit Vista.
Microsoft now also requires all OEMs to produce drivers in both 32bit and 64bit flavors before they're allowed to put the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo on the box. When Microsoft created Windows Vista, they based both the 32bit and 64bit on the same codebase and kernel version, which helps resolve the first two issues. The biggest reason is that Microsoft did not require OEMs to produce drivers for both 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows XP in order to slap the "Designed for Windows XP" logo on the box. This is especially common with Antivirus software. This leads up to issue number two, a lot of licensed software sees Windows XP 64bit as Windows Server 2003 and refuses to install because their licensing conditions don't cover server operating systems. This means Windows XP 64bit doesn't even use the same kernel version as Windows XP 32bit, which can cause driver programmers some serious headaches. Instead of doing major revisions to the Windows XP codebase, Microsoft build Windows XP 64bit on top of Windows Server 2003 since it already had a working 64bit variant. The first issue is that Windows XP 64bit isn't Windows XP at all, it's Windows Server 2003. You can't really blame them, Windows XP 64bit has always been an under-supported OS, and there are a number of reason why. Please continue to check back for updates.Apparently NetGear thinks noone uses Windows XP 64-bits and none of their products seem to have 圆4 drivers for XP. Continue to check for updates as stated on the Netgear website "Driver is currently not available. What will happen if Netgear opts to do so is they will publish an updated package that is compaible with Windows 7. Microsoft will not provide the drivers for WNDA3100v1 until they are provided to them by Netgear. Atheros would supply the basic driver to Netgear and then Netgear programmers would supply the customized package for the features Netgear wants. Microsoft neither writes nor supports third party drivers. NETGEAR does not have the access to the drivers and can not support them." That being stated, either Atheros or Netgear would be the source of the drivers provided to Microsoft for inclusion in the Win 7 installation. Please continue to check back for updates."įirst: Please provide a link to where Netgear states "that all WIN7 drivers are the responsibility of Microsoft." What I found on the Netgear website is: " Microsoft Windows 7 drivers are part of Windows 7 operating system.
