WNA3100 Wifi dongle - looking for driver

I am looking for driver software for my Netgear Wireless N-300 USB adapter WNA3100.

When I download the file which is currently available on the Netgear website (52mb) it turns out to be software for Express Burn DVD burning.

Has the Netgear website been hacked; or is it a deliberate ploy by Netgear to not make available this software?

    I just downloaded it to check. Mine downloaded fine. The file needed to be unzipped once downloaded and within the folder it contained:

    1. release notes

    2. A stand alone driver setup

    3. A drive and genie setup

     

    I even was able to install the driver (and then uninstall as I don't have that device)

    here's the link to the wna3100 that I downloaded.

      oh and once the main folder is unzipped, you need to unzip the specific stand alone or driver + genie folder.
