It doesnt say anything about your WG111V2 supporting WPA2... also Have you installed the XP WPA2 update (its not an automatic install unless WPA2 is detected by drivers).. Cut it down to WEP and see if the problem goes away.. Netgear products had a big problem with WPA after an update in SP2

i do not have windows sp2 is this why it isnt working?

Hello bob_marley, I have the same setup as you, with a wgt624 downstairs and a netgear wg111v2 (usb) adapter upstairs.
