    hey there. i have a netgear rangemax b/g wireless router (WPN824), and i need a wireless adapter to receive the signal for my desktop. i bought netgear's rangemax g wireless USB adapter (WPN111), but it's an AWFUL piece of equipment-- i've had two dozen blue screen crashes since plugging it in not two weeks ago, and it frequently drops the connection altogether. i didn't imagine it could suck so much, so i hadn't done any research before i bought it, which was a big mistake: in no time at all you can find that "Some configurations using Windows XP Professional, SP2, cause computer to freeze with a blue screen" is an issue KNOWN to netgear, and they haven't done anything to fix it. so now i looked up their wireless g adapter card, and it's got the same software issues that cause blue screens.

    my question is, what wireless b/g adapter card can i buy that will
    a) CONNECT with my netgear WPN824 router
    b) MAINTAIN a reasonably good connection
    c) NOT CAUSE BLUE SCREENS EVERY TIME I WATCH A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE
    ???

    PS: i read all the posts in this forum that had anything to do with netgear wireless adapters and things like that (read enough to know they didn't address this exact issue).
