install Netgear USB Wireless Adapter WN111V2 in windows8.

I encountered ithat my Netgear USB Wireless Adapter WN111V2 did not work in windows8.

 Official driver for Windows 7 downloaded from netgear’s website won’t work.

 It keeps saying that waiting for me to plug the adapter, even the adapter is already plugged.

 Do you have any idea?

Hi,

i solved this issue downloading driver chipset directly from Atheros.

i disassembled wi-fi dongle, and the chipset inside is "Atheros AR9001U (AR9170) USB 802.11n Wireless LAN Card Windows Driver" .

Direct driver link: http://www.wireless-driver.com/it/atheros-usb-11n-wireless-win7-driver/

Obviously you need to manually install driver from control panel.

I think this is the definitive solution.

I hope this help Microsoft community.
