Well if Netgear has no drivers for the USB adapter i think your going to have to buy a different adapter. Seeing as your router is 'G' standard, you can use any manufactures USB adapter because it is the standard G speed. You could try finding drivers through windows using the 'Add Hardware' facility in Control Panel. Worth a try to see if windows has any drivers that work with the adapters.

I realise that this may be a bit late for your issue, but incase you or someone else still wants this information, this works for me on W2K3 Server.

Download the XP drivers (setup.exe)
right click on it & set the compatability to Windows XP
then run.

It appears that only the setup checks for the operating system.

hope this helps someone.
