I have installed it onto my computer and done everything the manual says and I have the USB model WNA3100. On the box it says that it is capable of connecting to consoles to support multiplayer gaming. I have tried it after the installation and steps and it said I could not connect to Xbox Live. What can I do to solve this problem?

Use another computer to download the driver and then copy the driver onto an USB memory stick. Then insert this USB memory stick into your computer and install the driver.

RTM - Read The Manual

Get onlineand got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "SonySupport" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operatingsystem when requested. Download and install the drivers. You can buy a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the USB Port for less than $20. Just go to the site on the link below and when it comes up type: USB Bluetooth Adapter in the white search box and click GO.

It looks like your NetGear WNA3100 is dead out of the box.
The software looks like it operating correctly (runs the installed diag, tries to detect, etc.), but
the software isn't having any luck finding the hardware.
The reason that the adapter is disabled in Device Management, is that the software seems
to have correctly installed the driver, but Windows couldn't detect (plug & play) the device, so
Windows didn't enable the device driver - Windows won't load a driver for a non-existent device.
Other (remote) possibilities:
(a) Wi-Fi adapter plugged into a bad USB port. - try another port.
(b) there's a little corrosion on USB contacts of USB port or WNA3100. Try plugging adapter
in and out of the port a few times (this shines up the contacts a bit).
(c) there's a slight misalignment of contacts within the USB connector or either the laptop, or
the WNA3100.
Your fix may be returning the NetGear WNA3100 to the retailer for an exchange.

First, syncing is the transfer of data between computer software's that are designed to acquire and share with another entity. The sync function usually is embedded in the computer program. Once the computer recognizes compatible software that has several capabilities including transferring data, a USB connection capacity should be achievable. Usually devices that are designed for data transferability should be capable of acquiring a USB connection either as physical cables or wireless Bluetooth technology. The power to sync is contained in the software program. Once software that has sync capabilities is installed on the computer, any USB cable that is attached to an empty port would display a user message asking for further procedures. For example, USB connections on the computer that has media software's would display device recognizes link requiring data transfer. The solution lies in the software that is relied on for sync capabilities. Acquire Windows Media player, Real One player, or ITunes player as downloadable onto the computer to achieve compatibility.

Important Notes

USB ports are available on all computers as versatile connection links to devices that would require communications. The computers original systems are expected to recognize USB cable connection as manufacturers default. Usually, the computer is likely capable of upgrading several software programs that would least communicate with the USB. For example, the program suit installed has compatibility requirements to perform on the computer as an entity. Also, the program suit requires compatibility with USB connection for another device that would be connected to the computer. Attempt to install media transfer programs that are designed with sync features.

no the xbox only supports its own wireless adapter... thats like the only reason i hate microsoft... they are greedy

I did this and it worked for me.

*do not connect device to computer yet


**uninstall any previous versions of the software


1. run WNA 3100 v1.1.3.22 setup in normal mode, do not connect device when it asks you to


2. restart computer and boot up in safe mode (hold F8 after turning on comp before windows logo comes up)


3. once loaded in safe mode, connect wireless device, let windows install it


4. once done, start computer in normal mode

could spread some toothpaste on the cd, wipe it off then try the install again. used to work for me when i had scratched cd's

Try NETGEAR Router, but not router , instead look for your model.
