Question: Is this wireless adapter compatible with windows 8?
Document: I am using Windows 8 and am not certain if that was the problem. Now the adapter is running like a charm, getting a really strong signal and relatively fast download speeds, much faster than my previous adapter.Also, the adapter looks sleek and has a fairly long USB cable attached to it, which is handy for positioning it on my desk for better reception.I recommend this product because it is only ten or twelve dollars more than the N150, but is much more powerful.
Compatible with Windows 7
I wanted a new adapter that would be compatible with my new FIOS router. This Netgear wireless adapter is compatible with the G and N specifications. I use this adapter on my second computer so that I can connect it to the internet wirelessly.
the salesperson who sold this to me said it would work with Windows 8, but I immediately found that it wouldn't.
Works with Windows 8, but needed to call tech support to get it operational. (Editors note: If this sums the comment up properly, why is there a minmum number of words required???)
This thing rarely even connects to any networks, and if you have windows 8, get ready to reboot your computer every 10 minutes to get this piece of crap to connect.
Tried again to unplug, reboot, reinstall, and even spent an hour on the phone with Netgear, doing the steps yet again. In the end, they said it probably wasn't compatible with my Windows 7 computer even though the box said Windows 7 compatible. They suggested getting a different model. And after seeing other similar postings and reviews to my experience, returned this and got a Belkin.
First had drivers problem, running with a DIR-815 and a DAP-1360 range extender, then got the windows 8 drivers fixed everything great speeds recommebd the product !
I tried everything to get this to work on my Dell Inspirion with Windows 8 including contacting Netgear. There is a known driver issue with this device and Windows 8 and the included software does not support Windows 8 correctly. The driver download on the Netgear website also did not work on my computer.
Although I had to download the Windows 8 driver, it works great on my new Lenovo Desktop. It has a good range, picks up neighbors routers. So make sure you are logging on yours. Hint - you may have to put you WEP key into Win 8's network handler. Click on the signal icon and show key entry. Hope this helps.
Answer: NetGear now offers software version 2.1, which is specifically designed to support Windows 8. You can get the software from the NetGear download center at http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/ just enter WNA3100 in the model number search box.
