Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR WG511NA Wireless G Pc Card
Digital camera Review: Easy installation and works great with matching router
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this along with the NETGEAR 802.11g router to connect my Win98 laptop to my Verizon DSL modem. It worked great right out of the box. Quick and easy installation with the CD under Win98. I have the router in the 3nd floor bedroom and I get 60% signal in the backyard. I haven't tried connecting to legacy devices. My only issue is the antenna on the card which sticks out of the pc slot about 2". I worry that it will break off, but it seems to be made of pretty sturdy metal. It looks cool too!Digital camera Review: Easy installation, works well

This is a replacement for a Linksys card which 'fried' after a little over an year of quite constant use. The Netgear software is much more intuitive and, should you be an expert, offers more customization features. The card works extremely well, is blazing fast paired with a Netgear 11.g router. No problem whatsoever with either one or the other, I was a little concerned about their customer support but I never had to call them. Definitevely recommend.Digital camera Review: Easy to Install and Use

Out of the Box and on the web in 15 minutes. This is compatible with an 802.11b wireless router, better speed when using this card compared to older Netgear card. Software was installed without a hitch in my Dell Inspiron. I found I had to reboot both my wireless router and the laptop before I could get a good signal. Install software; install card; reboot computer and router-that's it. Netgear products have been very reliable for me. The price of this card on Amazon was about $15-20 cheaper than anywhere else.
Digital camera Review: Easy to install. Love it!

The Netgear WG511 Wireless PC Card was very easy to install and worked immediately once I entered the passphrase.Digital camera Review: Easy to use with other Netgear products
Summary: 3 Stars
This card was a breeze to install and configure for use with the Netgear 802.11g router. That being said, Netgear's Configuration Utility Software makes it impossible to use the card with some wireless networks that use Authentication Clients (such as my college campus). As the author of the university's wireless configuration instructions, I feel fairly confident in saying that one should be leery of using this card outside of the Netgear product family. If you know you'll be sticking to a basic personal network, though, it's perfectly fine.
