Netgear WG111T Wireless Adapter Please state your problem here
My USB wireless adapter all of a sudden got sensitive to its position. (i.e. if I bump it into something or touch it to make it move a hair) It would randomly disconnect when it was moved. I took it apart and the usb part was wobbly. I tried different positions and for some reason the adapter requires to be angled up, in relation to the usb part and the computer. Is there anyway I can fix this, as I temporarily put a piece of paper in it to angle it. By the way, this started right after I installed driver updates, and that may be the problem.

Well from what I can see the USB component was most likely damaged physically. The only way from what I can tell you can fix this is by

a) shipping it to the manufacturer/bringing it to a computer repair centre
b) keeping it at the angle it functions at permanently

Installing any type of software will probably not fix your problem, sorry.

thanks, im just gonna buy a new adapter, and I took the old one apart and saw that the USB thing was hanging by a wire, so that was the problem
