WNDA3100 not connecting to a WN604 access point
Hi, I'm trying to connect a new Netgear WNDA3100v3 wifi adapter to the home wifi without success. It connects well to temporary hotspots created by my cell phone, but not to the home wifi. The home wifi is provided by a Netgear WN604 access point. I've tried different security protocols on the access point, open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc., all without success. The WNDA3100 detects the network correctly, but cannot connect to it. I have used Wireshark to see the communications, but it seems that in all cases the access point stops to communicate with the adapter. In the case of WPA2, I see that the 4-way handshake stops after the first two messages (I attach screenshot). The WN604 has been working correctly for several months and still is, for several other wifi clients of different types (phones, TVs, laptops). I would greatly appreciate some help.WNDA3100v1 Panasonic TV compatibility list
I have a Panasonic (2012) TX-L32E5B Viera Widescreen TV. Q: All I want to know is which WNDA3100 adapter is compatible with my TV? - Simple! It would be good to have a compatibility list for WNDA3100v1 just like v2 as shown here - http://www.netgear.com/landing/en-us/wifitv.aspx thank youWNDA4100 and Other Wireless Adapters Low Connection Speed, Failure to Connect at 5G, etc.
I have experienced extremely low connection speeds, seemingly dead adapters, and other problems with two adapters, the WNDA 4100 and WNDA3100 v.2. These have been caused by incompatible drivers automatically being used and persisting in use during Windows 10 installations. To correct these problems, try the following. 1. Go to "Device Manager." 2. Find "Network adapters." 3. Double click on "NETGEAR WNDA____." 4. Go to the "Driver" tab. 5. Click on "Update Driver." 6. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software." 7. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." 8. Choose one of the NETGEAR WNDA4100 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter (NETGEAR Inc.) drivers. DO NOT CHOOSE THE ONE THAT IS FROM MediaTek. I am using Driver Version 3.2.7.0 which is dated 1/2/2012 for my Windows 10 setup. That should work with any computer at least from Windows 7 or 8. Hope this helps! Cliff
