I have various computers using the XR500 and everything seems to be working.
On only one machine .. a W7-64, its Device Manager shows:
Other Devices/NETGEAR XR500 Nighthawk Pro Gaming WiFi
with an exclamation mark.
The options are:
Update
Disable
Uninstall
Scan for Hardware Changes
Properties:
General the drivers for this device are not installed
UPDATE DRIVER does not find any.
This is on the W7-64 machine ONLY. Do I ignore, it, Disable it, or Uninstall it?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm with @shadowsports. That message has nothing to do with your router, which has no need for any drivers on your PC.
PS You'll have to wait for you image to become available. A Netgear moderator has to approve it. It can be easier to attach a file to your message rather than embed it.

That's it. This is the machine I use when drive is directly connected for any reason. THANK YOU. I will just delete it for now. I will also attach files in the future. Thank you ... both.
