I bought two of these cards, along with the Netgear 824 wireless router. Stuck the cards in separate Win XP boxes, and immediately started having system freezes and blues screens of death on BOTH boxes. I will never buy Netgear stuff again. Prior to this I was running Linksys 802.11b, and I really regret not sticking with Linksys.

Just plug it in and it works great -- none of the extenders with an antenna worked as well. Range of the WGX102 is not large but it's easy to move from one electric socket to another so it's easy to get a strong signal wherever you are.

I'm simply surprised. I had no compatibility issues what so ever. Truly plug and play....My environment is a DSL line (SBC DSL Pro) running to a Speedstrem modem, which runs to a Linksys router. The router plugs into a Belkin home plug network with another computer at at another home-plugged outlet. The Netgear range extender provides the 54g environment for my laptop even without issue.

I bought this item, because, on the back of the box, it shows the WG602 being used as a bridge to connect to a WGT624 access point. This is extremely misleading, and well, plain wrong, as a couple of other reviewers have pointed out. I was on the phone with extremely unhelpful tech support (that they outsourced to India, I believe), and it took several hours of run-around for the support guy to actually admit that the two products are not compatible (he had to ask someone else). Had he researched this properly in the beginning, hours would have been saved. I was eventually informed (after being told to upgrade firware, change numerous settings, etc.) that the WG602 would only bridge to another WG602. THE BACK OF THE BOX IS WRONG! Don't buy this if you're looking for a bridge that's compatible with any other AP.

I bought this router to replace a Netgear MR814 v1 that I outgrew.Right out of the box, this router worked without changing any settings at all! I turned off all pc's and my cable modem, connected the router, turned on my cable modem, then the router, then the pc's. Everything worked like a champ.Next I went into the web interface (which you can get to by opening Internet Explorer and typing 192.168.0.1 into the address bar, then type in the user and password) to setup the security settings. I was very impressed to see all of the latest security features included. Probably the one feature that I like the best was the auto firmware upgrade feature. The firmware of the router is what tells the router how to work. New versions of firmware can fix problems as well as give you new features. On many other routers the process of upgrading the firmware can be quite difficult for "normal" people that aren't techies. With this router, you just click "Firmware Upgrade" and it will go out to netgear, find new firmware if available, and install it all automatically for you. Great feature.Range was also a big deal for me as the house it was being installed in was a split 3 level house with the router being in the 2nd floor. I never used to be able to go outside at all with my old router and the signal in the bottom floor was always very weak. This router lets me have full coverage throughout the house and venture off into my backyard to the edge of my property! Amazing improvement. I am using the Netgear WGT511 card in one laptop, the 802.11b pci card in a desktop downstairs, and a wired card in a desktop upstairs, all with no problems at all.

This adapter is great when it's working. However, I've noticed that in the hot summer days it would periodically stop working.Hopefully when it cools down in the fall I won't have to periodically unplug and reinsert this thing to keep my connection alive.Update: the cooler temps helped slightly, but it would still have intermittent issues when the room is under 60F. Don't buy this. Try your luck with some other brand.

This may be a great card, but I have had to reinstall the drivers twice because it would not connect to the web via the Netgear Router.Now I am receiving a message that this is not a digitally registered copy of the drivers, whatever that means.We have two other cards on older Macs from the old "Airport" system which are trouble-free compared to this card.Maybe its my computer, but this has not been a favorable experience for me!

I bought a WG602 to extend my wireless network (being established by a WGR614) - after two hours of trying, I gave up and started searching the internet for results. Just then, my friend google *told* me that the WG602 only works with a limited number of other APs (the WG602 and WG302 seem to be the only ones compatible as far as I know..). But that doesn't seem to bother Netgear, they don't give any hint at all, neither on the package, nor on their website. This is a darned cheek! It's almost like having them say "Hey, we're selling cars!" and after buying one of them you discover its disability to drive...CONCLUSION: If you need a AP, try it, it might actually work - if you need a repeater, just keep your hands of the WG602's!!!!...words from a frustrated consumer...

The Netgear USB wireless was easy to install and configure. I had it setup and running in less than 5 minutes. So far it has provided far superior connectivity to my wireless network than the previous wireless card I had used in my laptop.

I have had the PC card almost 2 weeks now. The installation was easy and smooth. The card has worked perfectly, and is much more sensitive than my previous card. Previously I had intermittent access to the wireless network I connect to. Now I am permanently (almost) connected to the network. Downloads are also smooth, speedy and easy. I am very pleased with the card.Richard CarrFlagstaff, AZ

This prduct is nice when it works. Have to continually unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work though. The software for it seems pretty clunky. I guess I'm stuck with wires still. One of these days they'll get it right, I hope.

The good is the hardware. Neat, tidy, easy to hook up. The bad is the software, which is unreliable at best (not sure whether it's kludgy, or just doesn't work well -- tried with flavours of Windows from 95 through 2000 and XP pro.The ugly is support: it has to be the worst I have ever run into on the 'net, and that's saying an awful lot...

I bought Netgear WGT624 Super G from Amazon for $85-$25 rebate and the corresponding WG511T from Best Buy for $89-$40 rebate.Actually, I like Linksys because it is reliable. So, I bought Linksys WRT54G first from Fry's, but they sent me an old version of WRT54G which was reviewed having a lot of problems. I returned Linksys and bought Netgear because it says it can go up to 108 Mbit and it is cheaper than Linksys. Hopefully, they really send me the rebate.Installation to replace my old wired Linksys router was relatively easy (with Comcast and RCA modem). However, for some reasons, I can not make my laptop to work at 108 Mbps. The fastest it can go is 54 Mbps. This is after firmware refresh (both the router and the card) and using channel 6.I can not say that the signal is great, since from about 10 feets distance in the same house, the speed drops to 24-36Mbps.I have not try with 11 mbps b card, so I can't say anything about this.Few things to remember when installing the router:1. Do not rush opening the box. You need to check if the router you have is firmware upgradable. Netgear was reviewed to have some rotten apple in their batch that do not allow firmware upgrade. Go to their web site: http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_details.asp?dnldID=592and enter the serial number of the product to see if the one you have is firmware upgradable. If not, you should return it.2. You want WGT624G version 2 or later. This later version uses a better chip set. However, I think there is no way of finding the version without opening the box. I order from Amazon because according to reviews Amazon ships version 2; although mine has a low serial number.3. They have a URL that describes the setup for various ISP: http://www.netgear-support.com/ts/doc/ispguide.htm.It would be a good idea to check it before installing.I rate this as a good product althought I am not quite satisfied since I can not make it to work up to 108Mbps as advertised.-- bens

This is a TiVo-approved wireless adapter, but note that they only approve Version 1. Good luck finding out what you're buying before ordering it.That said, I got a Version 1 unit and found it worked wonderfully with TiVo. For about three hours. Then, it disconnected and took out the wireless side of my home network. TiVo says it doesn't like using a B/G adapter with a B router. Bogus, say I.The WG111 works beautifully on my laptops.Beware.

I bought the Netgear USB wireless G adapter to enable me to network my Tivo Series 2 and take advantage of its home media capabilities. I could not be happier with the Netgear's performance. Once my Tivo had downloaded new firmware (its software version 7 is required), I simply plugged the Netgear into the USB slot. Boo-bam, worked like a charm. No configuring, no dropped signals. Good throughput. I am using a Belkin Pre-N wireless router. I was a little leery of USB wireless adapters, but the Netgear worked perfectly with no configuration.

I was a little skeptical at first about using this device... do to it's incredibly small size. However I quickly fell in love with how easy it was to install on my windows xp machine and the excellent Netgear Smart Wizard that sits in my system tray, making it possible for anyone to quickly get connected to their network. Unfortunately my original skepticism quickly came back to confront me. After using the device for only a few days my connection dropped. I had to unplug the thing and reboot my computer before I was able to get back on my network. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and I've had to unplug it and restart my computer probably 15 times to get it to work again. I never used to have problems in the past with my other wireless usb adapters so I have a good feeling that it's due to this devise. I do notice that it gets very hot if you leave it in your computer for a long time, I'm no engineer but this might be somehow related to its poor performance.

Bought this adapter so I could continue to get programming updates without a landline. Took it out of the packaging, plugged it in, changed the TiVo setting to accept a wireless network, done. That was it. A few clicks on the TiVo remote was all it took. It really couldn't have been easier. Highly recommended. Just make sure you have the updated TiVo software so it will accept wireless networks.

The sofware ship with this adapter crashes in XP and you will see a blue screen for every ten minutes. I spent couple of days to try different combinations. Finally I found a right combination. Here it is. Install only their drivers using Microsoft Hardward installation wizard and use XP Wireless Configuration console rather than Netgear configuration utility.Netgear does warn that it doesn't work with XP with piece of sheet in the box. But they don't put this information anywhere in their web site to make the decision before you buy it.

I've applied the new flash upgrade, and performance is still quite good. Most of my comments from January still apply. Setup is quick, Citrix & terminal services work without modification, and I can connect to my main office via Cisco VPN client. Games are still working too.As with most vendors, I suspect you'll have better compatibility if you use a Netgear WiFi NIC with this unit. I can get it to work with a Cisco Aironet NIC, but I cannot get WPA encryption to work. WEP (for what it's worth) works, but I'll probably have to spring for the corresponding Netgear NIC if I want to move to WPA.The print server took a hit with the flash upgrade, however. Now it will only work as long as the PCs using it never reboot. If they do, you lose the connection to the print server until the firewall is rebooted. Tech support has been, um, less than helpful in resolving the issue. For that reason, my rating still stands at 4 stars. I strongly recommend you check the printer compatibility list on Netgear's site before you count on this as a print server.A couple of other notes: - The firewall is solid. I'm a networking guy, and I've tried to hack my way in a couple of times. Nothing's perfect, but this is a good solution in the home or very small business market. The worst I've been able to do against this unit is a denial of service, which disabled the Internet connection to my home network until I rebooted the unit. - If you plan to use MSN Messenger 6.2 and/or Windows XP's Remote Assistance, you'll need to enable UPnP on this unit, which is a bit annoying, but more of a Microsoft issue. - The e-mail logging is VASTLY improved over that of the previous flash. My logs are much more manageable, and the number of false-positive security alert messages is minimal. - You can now create up to two remote access VPN tunnels with the new flash. I tried it and it works, although as a home user I can't imagine ever needing that feature. Difficult to set up, though, so unless you have a solid understanding of IPSEC VPN protocols, good luck.Still, I believe this is a good unit for a home office. For me, combining the functions of print server, wireless access point, and hardware firewall into a single device make it worth the price.

I ordered this item directly from TiVo and my DVR didn't even recognize that it was there! TiVo says that it is compatible, but it is NOT. Order the Linksys or D-Link instead.

Tried and faced all sorts of problems with Windows XP SP2. Linksys 802.11b router & adapter was working fine. Thought should use this one to boost up my home netwrok speed but didn't happen. After downloading the latest XP2 driver from netgear's site (Last updated Jun 2004!!!!), can able to make it work upto some extent but now not able to connect my work machine using rdp as I have to use VPN software for my work and looks like it conflict with it. Support is not good. They made me do all those things which I had already tried. Even I mentioned the problem and what are the different steps I have already tried, I was asked to repeat them again and once didn't help, they blamed on Microsoft. I tried something on my own to make it work to at least for connecting to internet. Not much reliable and will have to go back to Linksys. Good elegent design is the best feature.

I have to say that these things are pretty sweet. I purchased 3 of these for each of my computers to avoid having to limit myself to just a desktop card or just a laptop card, and to be able to hook up any computer to my home network (I also do a lot of PC repair). I have not finished testing them properly yet though. Right now my router is not in a good location, its hanging from the ethernet cable that connects to the cable modem which is balancing on top of my curtain rod because I need to mount the router in a better location and run some coax cable to the center of the house. But I get about 18-24MBps on one of my PCs and 24-36MBps on the other two. I assume with proper mounting and antenna angling I should be able to get close to the 54MBps range.But as far as these USB adapters, my only real complaint is that WinXP doesn't have built-in drivers for them already, just to save me the extra step of having to use the install disk (I'm lazy :P)

Как и другие продукты Netgear, если вы в точности будете следовать инструкциям, вы значительно увеличит ваши шансы на легкую установку. Это весьма солидная-ПК-карты, которая работала первый раз в мой ноутбук. Торчащие антенны конец, с его медленно-мигающий зеленый глаз, висит 3 см в сторону моего ноутбука, и я немного боюсь замыкания его случайно. Серебряный цвет счастливо игр мой блокнот. Через несколько недель использования, он подключен 100% времени в моей домашней сети везде в моем доме и саду позволяет обмен файлами и общий доступ к подключению интернета, и именно поэтому я купил его. Помните, что вы не получите 108 Мбит / с, если у вас есть сеть 108 Мбит / с, но мой 54 Мбит / с беспроводной маршрутизатор сделает свою работу с карты на номинальной скорости. Доступ в интернет по сети так же быстро, как при прямом подключении к широкополосному гнездо.
