445708 2006-04-11 05:23:00 I am running windows XP home edtion and recently went to broadband. For ease of use i installed a wiresless connection using Netgear's WGT624 Router and WG311T adapter.

Since installing the adapter my PC has been "hanging" there appears to be no pattern to when this happens and i have to manually restart as Alt, Ctrl, Del doesn't work.

I did phone Netgears helpline and have tried installing on verious ports, removed my modem and yet it's still happening.

i have now connected my PC straight to broadband and it's not "hanging" anymore so the problem must be the adapter.

Has anyone had this problem or know how i can fix it as i would rather have it running wirelessly rather than have the mess of wires everywhere. or have i just wasted my money on usless products ???
Thanks

I would imagine it is a driver issue.

I would check the home page for hints and new drivers

kbserver.netgear.com

You may have a faultly product, try replacement if all else fails

I take it, you've got more than 1 computer for the wireless side??

And this site (compnetworking.about.com) shows the pros and cons.

445711 2006-04-16 04:11:00 Yes i did mean the various slots and it was running the updated driver and yes i have more than 1 PC and yes i also tried another card (i brought 2 originally).

Anyone have anymore ideas ???
