flow Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I just bought one from Compusa for $50 and (suppose there is another 10 dollar gift card from them ) this is what I did to make it work 1. my router was set according to windows, WPA-PSK encryptions TKIP and with password.. 2. plug the card in , and boot the pc. HD tiger->Applications->Internet Connect (the purple phone sucket icon) duble click it. 3. click the Airport (orange ) choose the network ie. your routors name. there will be a small window pops up asking for WPA personal password. type it in and click "Show AirPort Status in menu bar" 4. you are on the internet...

In the profile part, yes, PC card lists as unknown card. and the application->utility->airport utility shows nothing either. However theICON on the menu bar did showed something "aretheros?" card?. maybe you should use te control panel->network first, select AIRPORT first, (if you did plug it in, and reboot) then try that purple "internet connect" good luck I am planing to reinstall the system, until then, I may have the exact procedure , hehehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12494-i-purchased-netgear-wgw511t-ipod-issue/#findComment-79185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
