Frequently Asked Questions - WG111v2 NETGEAR
How do I install the NETGEAR WG111v2 driver on Windows?

Can I use this adapter with macOS?
Yes, the WG111v2 supports Mac OS X. You may need to download a compatible driver from NETGEAR's website, as the included CD may only have Windows drivers.
Why is my WG111v2 not being detected?
