Rating:  - Worked well in other system, but WEP Key does not-flawed driver/utility
I have v1 of the WG311. I had previously installed it in an older system running WinME in which it worked great. After recently installing in new system (WinXPSP2), with the supplied Netgear driver& utility (both installed together from the CD), I could not get a CONNECT using a WEP key, but can connect with security disabled (WGR614v4 router-Comcast BB). I still have not resolved this issue, but will try bypassing the NETGEAR driver and utility using the steps outlined in other reviews. ... Read More
Rating:  - Dont do it!
I bought this card to give wireless access to my desktop which is downstairs. It often lost connection, and at its most effective level gained 1 bar of signal. Even when the computer was within 30 feet of the router it still registered a lousy 3 bars. I've just upgraded to a cheaper edimax pci card which has 5 bars of signal through 3 interior walls and a ceiling. I expected more from netgear...

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
After reading the reviews I bought this product thinking how bad could it be. Wow, I had no idea.

The laptop has excellent reception; the desktop with this netgear card, always has low reception). Over ... Read More
Rating: - Unstable, poor signal reception, confusing software
I had this adapter for about 5 months now, and I have to say it's one of the worst pieces of hardware I ever used. The driver installation wants to install Netgear's version of wireless network manager that replaces the Windows WiFi manager. The main feature of the Netgear's manager is that it does not work, at least not on Windows XP, and it sure makes installation confusing. The second issue I ran into is very poor signal and frequently dropping connections - in the same room where other computers ... Read More
Rating:  - USE VERSION 3!!!
Use the version 3!! I have V2 and V3. V2 was a pain but has worked without a hitch for over a year. Just got V3 and it was up and running in less than 10 minutes--Package unwrapping to surfing the net. I use winxp 2 and winxp2 pro. Got it off ebay for 20$$ brand new!!
