So last week I had an idea.
I have the Netgear PTV 2000 that I bought a year ago with my laptop and haven't used in several months. I noticed that I could sell it on amazon for a decent price, and then pick up the PTV 3000 and see what happens.
So I sold my old PTV 2000 and after fees/shipping I got $42 for it and then I went ahead and bought a used/like new PTV 3000 for $48.
So I got an upgraded model for just $6 thanks to all the bad reviews on amazon for the PTV 3000 (Mostly people who can't figure out how to set it up with Windows 8)
The review that made me get this adapter was this one " Works flawlessly with Windows 8 but not right out of the box. Read for tweaks., January 12, 2013"
He basically tells you EVERYTHING you need to do in order to get it to work in his post.
It took me about 30 minutes or so to get everything set-up properly and have my phone connect to the PTV3000. Most of that time was searching google for the beta firmware.
Here is a link to the firmware so you don't have to go through the trouble of searching:

And here is a quick video test of it in action.

Let me know if you would like another video, that was just something quick I put together.
