 Electronics : NETGEAR WG511 Wireless-G PC Card |
|
Rating:  - Successful wireless fidelity card
This card works great. It took me 30 minutes to install the software and get it running. It has great speed. The only issue it when connectivity is low it tends to disconnect and scan and you have to wait for it to reconnect. This can get annoying. Other than that it is a great card for a low price

I'm happy with this purchase. My very old laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4145) does not have WiFi built in and for the past two years, I've been using an Airlink 101 USB Wireless dongle. This PCMCIA card picks up more signals and is more secure on my laptop than any USB dongle could be. The software is ok, but I had difficulty entering a WEP password for use with my router. No problem, I just let Windoze control the card and it works exactly as I need.
In all, the card picks up weak signals, provides a solid physical connection to my laptop, and performs exactly as I had hoped.
Rating: - Solid, but slow...
It's a reliable card, and for the price, you can't go wrong. By slow, I mean the bundled Netgear network "sniffing" software (program that finds and connects to networks) takes its sweet time connecting to a network. It took 30 seconds to connect to a Netgear router, while my Mac's AirPort Extreme connected in under 5 seconds. But the Netgear software was more reliable than the Windows supplied program on the ThinkPad it went into, so I guess you win some and lose some.
Rating: - Exactly what I expected
Amazon has hooked me up with another great product! It was easy to install and has worked like dream. Thank you Amazon for providing great product at a great price!

I generally have the worse luck with wireless cards, but this on is great. It seams to be well built and sturdy and I have not had any problems with it. I would recommend this car to anyone
