jultaylor1972 2 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Ive just bought a lap top with Windows Vista on it and have given my parents the PC which it is replacing. Ive kept the Netgear Wireless USB Adapter but I have misplaced the installation disk for it Ive already got a wireless network set up in my house so I assume if I can install the wireless adapter onto the laptop then it should be easy enough to find the network and get on to the internet? So, where on earth can I buy the a Netgear Wireless USB Adapter Installation disk? Or, has some nice kind person got one I could borrow? Please............. :kiss: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Macnas Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Julia Try the netgear support page, there are some software downloads available if you know the model of adapter you have. http://kbserver.netgear.com/downloads_support.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Dosn't your new laptop have built in wi-fi? most new ones have. Failing that, down-load the required drivers (software), as sugested above, on someone elses pc, copy it to disk and then install it on your laptop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just had to find the wap key number - which suprisingly I had in a safe place for once so Im connected and its all good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
