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 Wireless_Marvell_v1.0.2.36 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.
