An update on my wireless issues.
I gave up on the WNDA3100v3 and returned it. Maybe a little too soon.
I followed the instructions JamesGL gave me with no luck so I reinstalled the WN111v2 per those same instructions and still no luck.
For some reason I took the PC into my office and uninstalled the Netgear software and plugged into ethernet.
I thought their may be some Microsoft updates since that PC had not been connected to internet for a few days.
The updates were for Windows Defender.
So while still connected to ethernet I followed JamesGL's instructions except using software for the Wn111v2 and guess what, it came up.
I disconnected the ethernet and pulled a 40 meg speedtest with the old adapter.
Took PC back to garage and tested it out. Turns out that the Smart Wizard was acting very bad. It would not keep profiles or save info. So I went to start up and disabled it and restarted. The PC connected without a hitch and has been through several restarts and shutdowns.
I don't know what plugging into ethernet had to do with things but it found something it liked.
I would suggest people having trouble with their adapters get on the internet and try.
One more thing the drop down list of drivers looked like the same ones I had been using.
