I have no clue...I am not a "techie". I have only used it as an external device to install programs on my net book.

I simply plugged it in and installed the driver. Once the driver was installed I searched for a new network device on my laptop and it found the Netgear Range Finder, which was labeled as an extension of my main router. Once I clicked on the new router to connect, everything synced up perfectly. It was very easy and seamless. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I will look for this when I start the netbook. I did read in the NC10 posts that someone had the same problem and ended up wiping the hard drive clean, reinstalling her own copy of XP Pro and then via an external drive reinstalled the programs/drivers on the Samsung CD. So... worse case senerio, I am able to do this also. Thanks again,Shirley

I'm not aware of any netbooks that have an optical/cd drive...they're design is too small to contain one. External CD drives are not overly expensive, but will add to the cost of a netbook (unless you already have one)....they work fine with netbooks but would not be convenient if needed in class (they'd be fine back at the dorm room or apartment). The newer netbooks will do everything you want. Since you're posting on the 1215t thread, I assume you're considering one. How much battery life do you need in class? If you can plug in, it's no problem. With wifi off and screen brightness on low, I can get 5.5+ hours run time. If you need more batter life, the 1215B or 1215P may be a better choice.

What I always suggest is take a usb drive go to the netgear site and grab the latest win 7 drivers. Save to the usb and install the drivers with the usb on your unconnected computer first. This device was originally up to xp/vista. So you will need new drivers.

I don't believe this will help you. This, I believe, just updates from Starter 7, a silly money making microsoft scheme installed on netbooks. I would write to microsoft to be sure.

I got the XP version of this netbook back in July. I'm drawing a blank on whether any virus software was included. I'm tempted to say there was a demo version of Norton. Any anti-virus software should work. I'm currently running BitDefender 2010, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. I had no trouble with 2009 with the Windows 7 RC. 2010 is giving me frequent Report Wizards to report what made BitDefender encountered a critical error - on both my desktop and netbook. It seems to be Flash or Java related. I've also had serious trouble with PC Tools. It would automatically start scanning in the background and not release resources - more than one version. Made my desktop crawl. Solution was always to re-install. I would recommend going to different web sites and try out demo versions of software. With BitDefender, I did use the trial version of 2009. When 2010 was released, my subscription included the upgrade. However, if Windows 7 says there is a compatibility issue or known issue with any software, you better listen. When I was using Windows 7 RC, MicroTrend didn't have a Win7 version yet, and Win7 warned me of known issues. I'm glad Windows 7 has a system restore to restore the PC to a point before changes where made. ...like before installing MicroTrend Anti-Virus. :) They do have a Windows 7 version now.

Netbooks lack an optical drive, requiring you to download software from the net. This lack of CD/DVD drive facilitates a smaller size.

I had that problem at first. I read the user manuel and followed their instructions and it never connected. The way I got it to work everytime was to leave the innotab off. I had the learning lodge open and USB cable connected (to innotab and computer) BEFORE I turned the innotab on. Doing it that way it connects everytime. Hope that helps!

I received it completely packaged as brand new with everything wrapped in it's original packaging. No problems. If you are putting this on a network and other computers are unable to access your new Asus, should you want it set up that way, make sure you go to the file manager, highlight the "c:" drive and select "share". Then select the directories you want to share. It took me a while to figure that out.

I odered one to use with our Asus netbook but it only worked once. I am not sure if the problem is with the device or the computer. They just don't seem compatible. We used it to download software.

If you have another PC/Laptop which has DVD drive, you can share that drive with your NC10 on the local network. It's pretty easy to do, especially if your PC runs vista. XP isn't hard either.

Yes with this important point - use a backup drive with it's own power source. I have used it with 8.0 and 8.1 on a netbook. However the USB ports on some machines do not have the power required to run the click free software and the attached portable drive when drawing power from from the machine for both. click free also requires a certain amount of free space on the hard drive of the machine you are backing up from or two, to successfully work. I have an older machine running Vista and that one is fairly full with the data. Therefore click free no longer functions on that machine. Works great if you have a situation of good drive space and a back up target with it's own power source (AC adaptor.) Yes with this important point - use a backup drive with it's own power source.

Not sure. My computer is on a network, but the click free only backs up my computer

while I don' t have a clear cut answer, I do have one that works. See if it at least is at least recognized in device manager under Windows' control panel. If it is, you might right click on properties and have windows look for a new driver on the net. You might want.to reformat it under fat32 or NTFS....

Just got one of these too and swapped out the RAM. Exact same problem that you guys are talking about. It only seems to shut down completely with the original stick that came with the netbook. I've been trying every single configuration option for the last 5 hours, and nothing seems to work. Please let me know if you hear of any solution out there.
