Have you got the correct drivers for your modem / ethernet port?
Got drivers for the netgear wpn111 wireless adapter, drivers for router won't install (not compatable) but it is connecting.
That's very peculiar. Try using a download manager and downloading a large file, that should max it out. My connection is fine on Vista really. Have you gone to netgear's website and got all the latest drivers yea?
That's really quite peculiar...
But I'm not running wireless (yet) so things may change...
installing last driver now, they're in the beta stage apparently
