Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music PlayerDigital camera Review: 802.11b vs 802.11g Summary: 3 Stars
While the MP101 claims to be compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks, I was not able to get it to connect to my Netgear WGT624 wireless router running only in 802.11g mode. It connected without a problem to my Netgear WR814v2 wireless router (802.11b mode only) and worked like a champ - had it up and running in less than 5 minutes, even with WEP security enabled. A call to Netgear Tech Support confirmed that the MP101 will only work over 802.11b ... very disappointing to me. Didn't seem to run into any bandwidth issues over the .11b network, though, and for a first generation of this model, worked quite well. Definitely worth ~$100 if you're into gadgets!
