Yes I tried setting the router's 802.11 mode to G-compatible or to a slower
N-compatible speed. I tend to normally turn off auto-channel as I'm
sceptical about how well it works: I use InSSIDer to look for a vacant
channel.

As regards using the Wireless Zero Config or the adaptor's own wireless
software, I'm never sure which is better. I've had problems with both.
However I find that WZC often works better. It also has the advantage that
it is started before a user logs on to the PC, unlike most proprietary
wireless software, so you can boot the PC to the logon screen and access its
shares even when the user account is password-protected and the user isn't
around to logon.

Oh well, seems like you did all the right things, so I guess it must be a
cunning plot by Netgear to make their g-dongles incompatible with their n-
routers in the hope of getting you to single-source all wireless-n equipment
from them.

Did it work, or did it just make you buy a different brand?
