NETGEAR Wireless Configuration Utility
   

Netgear's WLAN device configuration program. Don't need if using XP's built-in WiFi mgmt

Installed when you install a NetGear Wireless LAN card

It reboots my computer if not stopped
  Eric Wu  

bit of software associated with netgear network management software

Netgear's wireless NIC Smart Configuration application that runs itself at startup. On my systems, one win98 and one winxp, the application uses way too much cpu resource. It calls net.exe over and over, and is poorly behaved program. You can get rid of it if you use XP, and you can EXIT the app after you have booted otherwise. Your system will speed up with it gone.

Netgear's Wi-fi configuration utility. Has many features, recommend using it and disabling XP's native Wi-fi utility.
   

When we installed the software for the NETGEAR PCI card WPN311, the file wlancfg5.exe was installed in the NETGEAR folder. This was done on a new computer fresh from an unopened box. At the time, the only other installed software was NORTON antivirus. After the NETGEAR software was installed, the computer would 1.lock up or 2.bluescreen in an hour or less. If powered up from a cold start, and no one logged in, the computer would bluescreen in about an hour.

When my wireless connection freezes (both the Netgear Utility and the XP wireless are frozen), I attempt to reboot my computer and a message appears stating that wlancfg5.exe is not responding. I have to do a hard shutdown. It definitely is a Netgear utility, but I'm thinking it's not behaving correctly, thusly creating a problem with maintaining a wireless connection.

Sends too many packets. Is not essential

after restart my system it automatically solved.

The constant page faults fill up memory and waste resources. I play an online MMORPG which runs substantially better after I've deleted it.

My Laptop depends on this application to connect to the internet. I often get the response Wlancfg5 not responding IF I suddenly have no internet connection.
  CF Jackson
