    Wireless connectivity wont work

    Hey guys ive got a Netgear USB wireless adaptor its the WN111. Theres 64 bit drivers for it but I believe they are beta drivers and the card has proven to be unreliable. It constantly disconnects and I get a connection probably 50% of the time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what network devices will properly work with 64 bit vista?
    Netgear customer support have also proven to be quite unreliable to say the least lol.



    Please help!!

    The Gigabyte GN-WBKG gets some pretty good ratings, and as you can see, Vista x64 is officially supported.

    Just a quick question, have you tried this driver for your WN111? It looks like a crappy source, but the description claims it supports x64 Vista.

    Just a thought. Sorry if you've already tried this.

    Alright. Despite not having this device, I downloaded the driver package, it looks legit and proper.

    Good luck!
