Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR WG511NA Wireless G Pc Card
Digital camera Review: D-Link is better
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received this product an hour ago, and I was really excited and installed it and used it right away. Guess what happend in the last 20 minutes? The card lost connection, which I thought was not a big deal, and can be easily fixed. However, surprisingly, I tried everything, and the only thing that worked was to re-boot the computer. And then the card is working properly again. Which is not too big a deal, but a little troublesome. The card looks cool. The connection is good if it stays connected. It is cheap because of the markdown and the rebate. If money is not really a big problem for you, I would really recommand you spend another $20-$30 to buy a D-Link product which from my own experience is so far the best wireless brand I have used.Digital camera Review: DIFFICULT TO OPERATE
Summary: 1 Stars
I STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS PRODUCT WORKS. I CALLED NETGEAR FOR TECH HELP. I GOT A MAN WHO I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES AND I GAVE UP.I DEO NOT KNOW WHETHER I NEED A G BASE OR NOT. SUPPORT IS VERY POOR.

IF I CAN'T GET AN ANSWER I WILL RETURN THE PRODUCT.
Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY THIS CARD
Summary: 2 Stars
The WG511 is excellent when working. However, whenever one disables the connection it is impossible to reconnect without rebooting the computer. I run this with XP Home and a notebook that I know works perfectly. Netgear support is as usual helpless, from technicians that can barely speak English to long holds to being told to install the new firmware (which didnt help). If you dont want a headache and countless frustration then buy a different card. Netgear deserves the bad publicity which is why I am posting this.Digital camera Review: DO NOT 1 Stars
I have owned a few netgear products over the years with little to no problems. Boy, let me tell you, this hunk of junk too the cake! First let me say, setup was easy. Thats it. From then on its been a nightmare. For starters, it would take FOREVER to find my router, even when it was 2 feet away. Ive got 2 xboxs, 2 wiis and a few other laptops that have no trouble finding my router. Strike 1. Now, at some point i was able to get the software to locate my router, and it would connect, but i couldnt surf the net. After spending over a month searching web sites and trying upgrades, even 4 different window programs, 98, xp sp1, 2 and 3. Nothing. Strike 2. The third strrike came when I could get everything connected, and even surf the net, for about 2 mins!!!!!!!! The connection would still be there, but browsers wouldnt work. DO NOT camera Review: Doesn't work with my Winows 98 Micron laptopSummary: 1 Stars Despite saying it is compatible wth W 98, mine won't work. It won't complete loading the software and drivers. I don't have any similar problems with other peripherals or software, so I assume it is a problem inherent with this product.
