Frequently Asked Questions

Use the information below to solve common problems you may encounter. Also, please refer to the

knowledge base on the NETGEAR Web site at www.netgear.com/support/main.asp.

Why do I see no more than 54 Mbps on the Configuration Utility status line?

The product literature says the WPN311 can operate at 108 Mbps. You are probably connecting to

a standard 802.11g network. If you use the NETGEAR WGT624 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall

Router or WG634U 108 Mbps Wireless Media Router, you will see network speeds up to 108

Mbps.

The WPN311 Smart Configuration Utility keeps asking me to save my settings

This is because you have made changes to the settings and the utility is offering you the chance to

save the changes. If you want to avoid these Profile setting prompts, simply click Apply before

you close the utility program.
