This RangeMax NEXT PCI adapter ensures that your desktop computer can connect from anywhere in your home, with maximum coverage and bandwidth, enabling you and the rest of your household to simultaneously connect to multiple Internet services, including online gaming, video streaming, and MP3 downloads. When used in conjunction with NETGEAR's WNR834B RangeMax NEXT wireless cable router, the WN311B PCI adapter will provide maximum coverage and bandwidth, enabling you and your entire household to simultaneously connect to multiple Internet services and online media. To explain the capabilities of RangeMax NEXT wireless router and adapters further: Imagine connecting to the Internet from anywhere in the house, without a cable. Then imagine everyone in the house connecting at the same time, and all doing things online or over the network - all at the same time: Watching a Hi-Definition video or TV program in the living room, browsing the Internet in the study, playing online games in the den, downloading MP3 music from the dining room - all at the same time. This is what RangeMax NEXT is capable of, all over a single home wireless network that provides a constant, 'rock-steady' connection. With the RangeMax NEXT PCI desktop PC adapter inserted, your computer will maintain a steady, constant connection (when used in conjunction with the WNR834B Wireless Router), with sufficient bandwidth available to stream, download, browse the Internet, and transfer files all at the same time. With RangeMax NEXT you should not experience any more frustrating interruptions or freezes, just a constant connection that enables you and your household to use the Internet and wireless network as you choose, whenever you choose.

Touchless WiFi Security makes creating the highest level of network security easy and includes industry standard wireless encryption standards for you to choose from: WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. These security features enable you to 'lock-down' your home wireless network, protecting you against unwanted intruders. As with all NETGEAR wireless products, the WN311B RangeMax NEXT wireless PCI adapter is easy to set-up with NETGEAR's Smart Wizard. This RangeMax NEXT adapter is backward compatible with existing wireless devices, including 54 Mbps 802.11g and 11 Mbps 802.11b - but bear in mind that the coverage and bandwidth won't be as good with these devices on your home wireless network.

Hi, I have discovered a site that keeps the latest broadcom chipset drivers for windows 7 that the wn311b use, and these drivers work alot better than the netgear drivers or the default windows 7 drivers. Here is how to install them: Step 1: Download latest drivers from Step 2: Extract Drivers Step 3: Go to Control Panel - Device Manager, and under Network Adapters right click on Broadcom Network Adapter(or whatever your card might be named) and click Properties.

Step 4: Go to the drivers tab, click Update Driver - Browse My Computer for Driver Software, and point it to ' Win7 Driver amd64 ' and then click next. Step 5: Finished! Thanks gouly. This worked for me. My download speed more than doubled from 7.35Mbps to 17.75Mbps. I checked this using speakeasy.net.

I did find however that the default bandwidth value was set at 20Mhz which I changed to 20/40Mhz. It is interesting to note that Netgear support just sent me a message today in response to my driver inquiry: I understand that you are waiting for a WN311B driver that would work on a Windows 7 (64Bit) operating system. Unfortunately we do not know the release dates of the said drivers. As an alternative solution to this you can try using other NETGEAR wireless adapters, we have the WG111v3, WNA1000, or WN111v2 all having drivers for Windows 7 (64Bit). I hope that the steps provided above would help resolve the problem. Please feel free to contact us again if you will require further assistance. Am I reading this right?

Sounds like they admit there is an issue and he is telling me to get another card! Thanks again megohms Kent, WA. The Broadcom drivers ( package from the site) tells me my current drivers are up to date, for my WN311B desktop PCI card. I've tried uninstalling, and re-installing the driver through Device Manager, however, when there are no drivers, Win7 displays the Rangemax card as an Ethernet Device, and wont let me install the broadcom driver over it, through the Update Driver option, stating it's not a valid one for this card.

I've gotten then WirelessMarvellv1.0.2.36 driver to work properly with the netgear card, which was odd. However, going into 'Update Driver' after installing the Marvell driver, states that the drivers are up to date, and does not install the broadcom ones OS: Win 7 x64 Ultimate.

When you click on 'Browse My Computer for Driver Software', try clicking 'Let me pick a list of device drivers on my computer' and then click on 'Have Disk' and selecting the drivers that way. When you are deleting uninstalling the wireless controller make sure you tick the 'Delete driver software for this device' box too. Re: airush, good to hear!

I was exctremely happy too when I worked this out and finally got to use my wn311b to its potential. Considering that Newegg recently had a sale on this with rebate I figure it's worth resurrecting the thread, especially considering there is a 2012 Broadcom driver now: About 50% increase in download speed and from 2 to 3 bars in the quick test under Win7 here. The default driver Windows installed was 2008, and it said 'you already have the best driver' if you try to use the Update Driver option under Device Manager so I had to uninstall and run setup.exe included in this package to properly upgrade to the 2012 version.
