Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

            I just visited the netgear website and found out that my particular model of Netgear Wireless-N USB Adapter supports up to Windows 7.  I did try to get the Windows 7 software and drivers to work out of desperation within the Windows 8 operating system, but, failed in my efforts.  Is there anything else I can try?  At this point, it looks like I have two options:  1  Buy a new wireless USB network adapter which supports Windows 8 or 2.  Wipe the hard drive and downgrade to Windows 7.

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

             First and foremost, I want to apologize for the delay in responding back to my post.  I certainly found each reply given helpful in taking the best available option in resolving my interest in getting this Netgear Wireless-N USB Network Adapter working.  The model number WN111v2 of my Netgear Wireless-N USB Network Adapter is supported by Windows 7, but not Windows 8.  Upon finding this out, I decided to just go back and stick with Windows 7 on this desktop.  Once the desktop was reverted back to Windows 7, I was able to successfully download and install the proper drivers using the link given by Miftaul for my particular model of Netgear Wireless-N USB Network Adapter.  The wireless network connection and internet connection are back up and running again.  

               Many thanks for the insights and links shared within this post.  

               Have a great evening everyone.
