Netgear WG511 PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter
Freedom of movement and flexibility of access - Netgear's 54 Mbps Wireless PC
Card gives you both in spades! Designed to the 802.11g draft specification,
this versatile PC card offers speeds up to nearly five times faster than widely

wireless hotspots around the globe.
This versatile PC card works with either wireless standard, 802.11b or 802.11g,
to keep you connected today and tomorrow. Put it in your notebook PC and no
matter where you are, at home, at the office, at the airport or in other public
access areas, this versatile adapter automatically selects the best connection
available, giving you constant access to corporate resources, e-mail, and the
Internet. Use it to quickly network employees, saving the time and expense of
Ethernet cabling. Easy to set up and use, it auto-selects the best available
connection and adapts the settings to match. Netgear's intuitive Install Wizard
makes driver installation a cinch. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you

Just installed this evening. Pretty effortless. Replaced a Belkin router, which didn't last more than a year. First the wireless channels went, then I lost one of my plugged connections.
Tonight I connected four wired desktops and my wireless notebook. All went well. A lot faster than my previous router too.
Time will tell...
work ok

I bought this PCMCIA Adapter to use with a Dell 5100. I bought a refurbished one for under $13.00. My sons said I ordered a refurbished piece of junk. Suprise, Suprise. I Installed the Adapter, downloaded the drivers fron Netgear, & was up and running in 20 minutes. It shows a range of A very strong siginal from 60 feet away & 3 walls in-between. Thank you again Tiger Direct. I have bought great products here for years. I would recommend this card. It is unbelievable for the price.

I bought one of these for my HP Pavilion Laptop and it works great. I use it both for school and work-it seems to have fairly decent range. I opted to ''let Windows manage my network device'' instead of the Netgear utillity and it runs much more smoothly in my opinion. Overall, great product for the price.
