Installation Guide for the NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311T

I cannot connect to the AP that I want from the Networks browser list

The access point is available and there is good signal strength. There are a few possibilities:
If the access point (AP) is WPA-PSK protected, you will need to have the correct WPA-PSK
passphrase. Otherwise, the WG311T will still be connected to the previous access point and
you will not be able to change to the WPA-PSA access point.
If the access point is WEP protected (either 64 or 128 bit encryption), you will be prompted to
enter the WEP encryption security information.

The WG311T is not getting an IP address

You probably upgraded your WG311T software and did not reboot your system.
To get an IP address assigned, you can either restart your computer or choose another access point
to connect to. If there are no additional access points for you to choose from, restart your system
and connect to your desired access point again.
Note: It does not usually help to shut down the utility or disable/enable the card.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Questions

Why is my WG311T not connecting to my WPA router?

I thought I chose my WPA router in XP Zero Configuration's Available networks and it is showing
other devices in the Preferred networks list, why is my WG311T not connecting to my WPA
router?
Check your Preferred networks and remove the other non-WPA devices from the list. Only leave
your WPA router in the list and try connecting again.

Why is the icon in the System Tray flashing Green to Red alternately?

I thought I got my WG311T WPA connection – a green icon in the SystemTray.
Although you have use XP zero configuration utility for your WPA settings, the open "Green-Red"
flashing icon indicates that you might have entered the incorrect WPA secret key. Assure that the
WPA settings are configured correctly on both the Radius Server and the Router. In addition, you
may also check the Radius' port number on the Radius server and the router.
