hi dependent on what operating system you have you can turn off Upnp this is what is starting the auto install of the drivers, here is a link for you to download a utillity for this if you have windows xp http://grc.com/UnPnP/UnPnP.htm for windows 7/vista ,To disable it go to Start and type gpedit.msc in the Start Search and press Enter. Once Local Group Policy Editor is open navigate to,Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Driver Installation, Now from the right sidebar open the key named "Turn Off Windows Update Device Driver Search Prompt" and select Enabled and click OK Now Restart your computer or Log Off and then sign back in. That's it. Now Windows bother you any more. Enjoy! hope this helps

Same issue.

I paid 30quid brand new for this piece of shipppp it is very frustrating have been trying to install it for hours now, it should be a 15 minute process.

I am using Vista, and when i click "Detect" it does nothing for minutes on end.

Netgear are selling totally useless junk and not giving proper instructions or support.

SOURCE: I have Windows 2000 and

Netgear does not have Windows 2000 drivers for this product. They are only showing drivers for Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
