Connect your Windows®-based notebook or desktop computer to a Wireless-N network for applications such as online gaming and a secure and reliable. Install the driver normally. A Netgear Genie screen will ask you to plug in the adapter – close it by right-clicking its taskbar button and clicking Close. Optionally disable the “WNDA3100v2.exe” startup entry using AutoRuns to stop Netgear Genie from bothering you on every startup. Connect the LG adapter to your PC.

Purchasing new computer equipment can rapidly deplete a business budget. Older laptops and desktop computers may still operate perfectly after a few years but often lack native wireless connectivity or newer wireless technology. Rather than purchase a new fleet of computers, install a simple Netgear USB wireless adapter for each computer. This device, which plugs into your computer's USB port and is installed with a software driver, provides inexpensive and convenient wireless access.
1.
Insert the Netgear software CD into your computer's CD drive. Click 'Run autorun.exe.' If the autorun option does not appear, click the Windows 'Start' button, select 'Computer' and double-click the CD drive to open the folder on the disc. Double-click the Netgear icon.
2.
Click 'Install the software.' If you see a prompt to check for updates, click the button to do so. Click 'Next.'
3.
Read the terms of service and click 'Accept.' Click 'Next' to install the Netgear software. Wait for the software to install. If your computer found and installed Netgear updates, click 'OK' to reboot the computer and continue the installation process. If your computer found no updates, click the 'Next' button that appears.
4.
Insert the USB wireless adapter into an available USB slot in your computer. Wait while Windows detects and installs the device. Windows informs you of the progress by displaying a small information bubble at the bottom of your screen.
5.
Select your country and click 'Agree' in the Netgear dialog window that appears. In the next window, select the Netgear Smart Wizard installation and click 'Next.' When you are asked if you want help connecting to a wireless network, select the 'Yes (recommended)' option and click 'Next.' Wait for the adapter to detect your existing wireless network.
6.
Click your network name in the list of available wireless signals. Click 'Next.'
7.
Enter your network's router wireless password. Click 'Next.'
8.
Select 'Yes' to allow Netgear to save your settings to a profile. Enter a name, such as 'Work,' in the text box' and click 'Next.'
10.
Wait for the device to connect to your wireless network. Click the 'OK' button to confirm the connection. Close the Netgear smart wizard window by clicking 'Close' at the bottom of the dialog window.
Things Needed
- Netgear Wireless USB Adapter driver software
- Router wireless security password
Tips
- If you do not have the software driver CD, visit the Netgear website (see Resources) to download the driver software for your USB device.
- If your local area network hides its service set identifier (SSID), Netgear displays the wireless network in the available networks list but does not display the name. You have two choices for connecting to a non-broadcasting SSID network. Either attempt to connect by selecting the network name from the list and entering the password, or access the router to temporarily enable SSID broadcasting while you connect.
- The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, and the U.S. Department of Justice recommend using the strongest wireless security encryption available, called WPA-PSK or WPA2. Securing your network prevents unrestricted access and tampering with your network and networked computers. All new routers and wireless adapters include settings to secure your wireless network. If you own an older router that lacks WPA-PSK security, consider purchasing an updated device as soon as possible.
