Netgear WNDA3100v1 driver only

The Netgear WNDA3100 is a pretty nice wireless adapter, but the drivers from Netgear are bundled with a crappy management software. I extracted the basic driver files from the .exe provided so that I can install the hardware using the Windows standard methods.

The 7z contains the Windows XP/2003 and Vista/7 drivers.

    Thank you for helping me to bypass Netgear’s smelly bundle. You made my day.

    Wow! Any chance to get this working on a Mac? That would be AMAZING!!!

    FYI, those who are looking, this WORKS with Windows 8 as well! Thanks so much. I hate the Netgear bloatware. Windows has built-in network mangement, and I’d rather use that.

      Confirmed! it will work with windows 8. Just be sure to use the “have disk” path then choose the certified driver and boom. Works like a charm.

    hey there dude. you REALLY saved my ass. just moved in into a new home and due to the room setup here i cannot use LAN Cables and have to rely on WiFi. This driver made my wnda3100v1 work again on windows 8.1.

    THANK YOU
