my roommate has a 54 Mbps NETGEAR WGR614 v4 wireless router but has lost the installation cd, the router is installed and working on her computer from when she first got the thing but we have no idea how to install the plug-in usb part on my computer without any installation software.
i downloaded the firmware offered on the net gear website but that didn't help. it downloads as a zip file and when uncompressed it's an adobe file and an IMG file which can't be opened (even by img file opener).
it says new hardware found when we insert the usb wireless thing and tries to search for "cohiba 3887 rev0"
both computers are running on Windows XP and we are trying to set up a home (wireless) network. also we have DSL.

help, i've no idea what to do and am so frustrated :(
