I am aware of the compatibility issues that this PCI adapter has with Windows XP SP2. Like many people who has XP SP2, I also got a blue screen following Netgear's installation instruction, which is to install the utility and driver from CD before you install the hardware.The compatibility issue originates from the utility software provided by Netgear, but not from the PCI adapter itself. However, the problem is easy to fix.Follow step 1-7 if you have already plugged-in the hardware and receive a bluescreen after restarting Windows XP.Follow step 3-7 is you have not begun the installation process.1. turn off your computer and unplug the PCI adapter2. start your computer and uninstall the Netgear utility software from Control Panel3. insert the installation CD but do NOT install the utility and driver from the CD4. turn off your computer and plug-in the PCI adapter again5. start your computer and Windows XP will tell you "new hardware found"6. follow the instruction and let Windows XP search your computer for the appropriate driver (include your CD-ROM drive). DO NOT INSTALL THE UTILITY SOFTWARE.7. in just a few minutes, your wireless PCI adapter will be working smoothly with no problems!Note: Windows XP's default Wireless Connection Manager is a good program, therefore, there is no need to use Netgear's utility program which has serious conflict with XP SP2.The adapter itself is a great product. It would have received a 5 star. However, due to the faulty installation instruction and the incompatibility of Netgear's software for Windows XP SP2, it receives only 4 stars. Netgear needs to fix this problem and get rid of the incompatible utility software ASAP.

This PCI card installed with no problems but the WTG624 router signal from approx. 50' away was 1 to 0 bars (very weak to no signal). Granted, between the two is the kitchen and a bathroom with all copper plumbing. After buying a Zonenet antenna for it and moving it from behind the computer to the top of the desk it is now a 5 bar very strong signal.The speed of the connection is fast enough until WEP is enabled...then it's comparable to dial-up...but I believe the router is the cause of that.Would've given it a 5 star if the antenna wouldn't have needed replaced...50' isn't THAT far even if it is through the kitchen and bathroom.

As detailed in many other reviews before this, the included software has a problem with XP2. In my case, the software installed fine, but would drop signal frequently, and it was all very frustrating. BTW, the CD had the latest version of the software. Here's the right way to install:1. Uninstall bundled software.2. Reboot3. At the 'Found new hardware, install driver' dialog, choose 'Have Disk' or equivalent, and point it to the 'drivers\XP' folder on the CD.4. Done.This has the net result of ditching Netgear's wireless manager in favor of the in built windows one, which is perfectly adequate. I'm getting 4 bars out of 5 with the router in the basement and the desktop in the 2nd floor.Good product, faulty software.

I had to return it because it consistently locked up any XP PC where it was installed. Purchased this model because it seemed to be the right fit for the Netgear WGT624 router.Returned this item and purchased the USB wireless adapter WG111 instead, which worked just fine.Won't purchase this item again and cannot recommend it.

I purchased this product for a Dell Inspiron 8000 (Windows 2000, Pentium III 900) in March 2005, and so far (July) I had no problems, except the fact that the card heats up quite rapidly, so that the fan keeps working almost all the time while I am online. Installation was quick and easy, and the laptop immediately recognizes the card once I plug it in. Overall I am quite satisfied with the product, and the price looks all right too. (...)

The WG511T is a great networking card. Pros are that it has Super G (108 Mbs) capability and that it installs easily with exisiting networks. Cons - none so far.I bought the card to replace the Netgear MA401 802 11b card (11 Mbs) that was good, but doesn't have the speed or range that this card has. If you are thinking of having a wireless network 802 11g is the minimum speed you should consider (54 Mbs) - this is up to 5 times faster than the original 802 11b networks and allows you to stream music and photo files quickly. If you are considering playing wireless music stored on a hard drive this is the minimum speed to consider.Buying the Super G WG511T card allows you the benefits of faster networking where it is available by paying a $10 to $15 dollar premium for the card over 802 11G cards. This card works well and has better range than other cards.

I downloaded the latest drivers and software from Netgear and laoded those on my computer before installing the card. Set the security parameters to the same as on my netgear wireless router, and there were no problems. I have 30 years experience with corporate networks.

Just installed the WG311T PCI cards on two pc's connecting through my WGT624 and so far everything is great . Good signal and speed on both computers and no dis-connects . Iam pretty happy with my results todate .But .......IMPORTANT NOTE ON INSTALL WITH XP AND SP2 !!!1.)If you use the Netgear application to monitor/manage your Wifi stuff then you MUST disable the "wireless-zero" in the "Adminstative tools" in the control panel for things to work correctly ( start/settings/contrpl panel/administative tools/services/wireless zero ; and put to "DISABLE"2.)If you use WindowsXP to monitor/manage your Wifi , then you MUST disable the Netgear application (start /run / then TYPE IN: msconfig / then look in "startup"/ then DISABLE or UN-CHECK the line saying "GEAR 311T".You must do one of the two items Ive listed to make sure your netgear Wifi works /connects properly (to the internet) . Seems you cant NOT use both applications together in anyway . Ive done ALOT of testing on this and this is the ONLY method(s) Ive found to work correctly (and this is not mentioned by Netgear or Microsoft) .I hope this helps future users of this equipment . =)

Important for SP2 users!The Netgear network connection software for the WG311T (even the lastest Aug '04 version posted on their website which was supposed to fix the SP2 problem) rarely, if ever, works. And if you choose to use the default Win XP SP2 wireless network connection software, it still won't work because even when the Netgear connection software is disabled, it interfers with the Windows XP software. You MUST stop the Netgear software from running at start-up and the only way to do this is according to instructions posted by J. Richmond here (thank you, Mr. Richmond!) After spending 2 hours on phone with Netgear support, I read his post and fixed it in 2 minutes. I actually told the support technician how to fix it. Now, why can't Netgear read the reviews of its own products!

My use of the card has been limited to wireless connections at places like Starbucks and airports, which is regular 802.1b at 54 Mbps, I believe. Within the limited use, my experience with the card has been only pleasing. Although I use the card with Debian Linux, the installation was as easy as it gets thanks to MADWiFi (see http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/). A bit of kernel configuration (enabling standard kernel options for wireless, pcmcia, etc.), apt-getting deb packages pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools, and updating /etc/network/interfaces as usual got it working for me.I had another wifi card (PCI) on my desktop, and that one (Linksys) was a [...], though. The key for finding hardware for a Linux box is really relying on other people's experience (tons of them on the web) and to get the one that's supported well by an open source project. This one is.

First of all, this card is a great product and better than any of the competitors, to include Linksys and D-Link. With the deployment of SP2 you will need to change the install procedure for the V2 card so that it works without causing your system to reboot constantly. DO NOT install the utility and drivers ahead of time as the instructions in the packaging tell you to. Rather, install the card, then boot up and let windows detect the hardware. Instead of installing the drivers automatically, use the "I Will Select" the hardware option then through the hardware wizard browse to the XP Drivers folder on the disc and let windows install ONLY the driver, not the utility. XP has a very good wireless management utility and you will give up nothing by not having the Netgear utility installed. The card will finish install and you'll be up and running.

Purchased with a WGR614 router; works great in an Athlon 64-based system with MSI motherboard (this is the v2 version of the WG311 with the TI chip). Downloaded latest drivers for WPA-PSK support.Installed a WG311T at the neighbors two weeks ago in a new Dell P4; also working very well, with high (around 80%) signal strength through two floors, a couple of desks, a drop ceiling, and flourescent lighting. Much better reception than my previous 802.11b solutions (D-Link DWL-120 and Orinoco Silver cards).Update: works great with XP SP1 & SP2 as well. Have since sold it and the router, so couldn't try with SP3 or Vista.

I have been extremely pleased by the ease of installation with Netgear's WG311T. I'm running a Linksys 54Mbps router and use a similar Linksys card for my notebook. The Linksys router has been fine, though I would probably not buy another Linksys notebook adapter. My Linksys PC card has been nothing but trouble. So when it came time to add a PCI card to my household network, I read the reviews here and elsewhere, finally deciding to roll the dice on this Netgear device. The simple installation directions had me connected in no time. I have never had such a smooth and trouble-free install of any piece of equipment. This card gets 5 stars from me for ease of use and value price ($40 after rebate).

I've owned this product for a week now and have tried various things to get this card working correctly on my system. It appears that with LARGE traffic, this card will freeze up and lock your system, forcing you to press the RESET/POWER button. There is apparently a compatibility issue between the Atheros chipset (what this product uses) and the VIA chipset (what most AMD compatible motherboards use).I would only recommend this product to people who ARE NOT using a motherboard with the VIA chipset. [...]I hope that this helps you in your decision.

I don't generally write reviews, but when a product is a good value, installs with ease, and works as advertised, I'm impressed.I purchased both the Netgear 54Mbps adapter and router (see my review for the WGR614 router) to give my kids the advantage of high speed internet running off the cable unit I had installed for my home office computer. Both items were easy to install (the router set up without software off an internet site) and now provide 48-54 Mbps data transfer for the kids without the hassle of running cable.

I bought this card because my wireless PCI Linksys WMP54G would always lose connection, making me have to reset the hub. This happened 3-6 times a day. With this new Netgear WG311T, I always stay connected to my Linksys router WRT54g. I have not lost a connection/signal yet, and have not gone below 54mbps. My router is 54mbps so I am not even using the full potential of my Netgear. This product was extremely easy to setup, extremely reliable, worth every penny and more. I just got mine for $39.99 at Compusa.com. This is a must. I am so happy I did not buy the Microsoft wireless pci card, I LOVE YOU NETGEAR, you have restored my faith in your products!

I have a Netgear WG624 router which I am very pleased with. I bought this card because I was too lazy to run cat5 from my router downstairs to my second PC upstairs. I put it in at the same time I installed XP (was previously 2k). I experienced 1-2 second freezes about twice a minute where everything would stop and audio would stutter. Additionally the system would frequently lock up hard during mpeg play whether local or streaming and required holding the power buttont in to restart. Disabling the wg311t solved my problems. Search Google for wg311 and freeze. This is a common problem at least with XP. It's too late for me to return this adapter. Don't make the same mistake.

I ran the driver installer, plugged in the card, typed in my WLAN's security settings, and was on the network.It worked on both an XP-Home and a Win2000 laptop, and included the option of using WPA (PSK) security. :)My SMC8204WBR (802.11g) A/P-router is down in the basement behind the furnace, and I'm upstairs in the opposite side of the house. It's getting decent signal strength. This card's reporting 48Mbps link rate, which is fine since I don't have a Netgear "100Mbps+ high speed" A/P.

My entire wireless network is now made up of Netgear components and this card works great just like the rest of them.The main feature I like about the card is its ability to operate at 108 Mbps with my WGT634U router (in 108 Auto mode) while still allowing my other notebooks to operate at their 54 Mbps maximum.The supplied software is just as great as the version that came with my Netgear WAG511 card. So setup and security was a snap.I am using the card primarily on a KDS laptop running Windows Me (I know) which is a small wonder in its own right. It runs great without any problems or blue screens (knock wood).From time to time, I use the card in my Dell Inspiron 8100 running Windows XP Professional. I have to interchange it with a Xircom NIC/Modem card I'm using though but still no major issues in doing so.I originally got the WAG511 card because of its dual band a/b/g capibilities but it only achieved 108 with my router in 108 only mode which would not allow my other 54 cards to function. Hopefully, Netgear will release a new driver for 108 auto support like that of this WG511T card.

I've used this product for about 3 months; I live in an apartment above the garage of my landlord, who lives in the house below and has a wireless router, etc. Another tenant in the basement also shares access. This card works great -- I am pretty far from the router but am basically always in "very good" connection range, no matter where I am in my apartment. I can even go to the backyard. It really is impressive performance, particularly since the landlord's configuration is all Linksys hardware, not Netgear -- my landlord says I have the fastest connection of anyone. (Besides having this card I also have a super fast laptop, which probably helps too.)There are a couple of things to keep in mind when using this card. 1) If you're running XP, Windows will try to "take over" and run your network for you -- it will install its own driver, run the card, etc. I HIGHLY recommend that you install the card using the configuration CD (or by getting the latest firmware from the website) rather than letting Windows install the drivers itself. Your XP software likely won't have the latest drivers. Also, I even more highly recommend NOT allowing Windows to manage the connection -- if you click on "my connections" and then "wireless connection status" you should have a box saying something like, "Allow Windows to manage connection" -- UNCHECK THIS BOX. Let the card manage its own connection -- it performs much better.2) If you or anyone living within a few hundred feet of you uses a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone, particularly an older one, you could get interference. It turned out my phone was interfering with everyone's connection and causing frequent drops. If you get frequent drops when you first use the card, don't blame the card until you've asked everyone living close to you to try to a different channel for their 2.4 Ghz phone. Once I did this, everything cleared up and I've had outstanding service since then.

I have the wireless Super G Router and i thought I would give this card a try to take advantage of the 108 mbps. So far so good. I have not had any problems with Windows XP Pro SP2 freezing or "stuttering" .Overall, install took 20 minutes, and that should have been 5 if i had read the directions first and installed the driver first as opposed to starting with the card.My advice - get the card. It works great so far. Should my feelings change i will post it.

When I replaced my Netgear ME102 access point, I was mainly concerned with the lack of security features compared to current wireless 801.11x products on shelves today. I ended up selecting another Netgear product, the WGR614 wireless G router/access point and chose the WG511 mostly to ensure the highest level of compatibility.Overall, I'm very pleased. The card was simple to install, even given my previous experience with the ME102. Pop in the CD, use the HTTP-based menu to install the driver and software package, configure the security settings and you're done! I decided to take a chance and downloaded the latest firmware which implements draft 802.11g compliance, SSID broadcast blocking, and minor fixes before hand. Once implemented on both router and PC card, I noticed no problems or difficulties. Those with mismatching brands of wireless devices may want to check with the respective manufacturer(s) before upgrading, however. Performance and range were much improved in my two-story, 1600 sq. ft. home with steel frame construction. Where the signal of my old ME102 and D-link 650 would drop significantly from about 15-20ft away, I'm able to keep a full signal with the WG511 and WGR614 in the same location. Throughput was also improved, of course, although device specifications, antenna placement, environment, and infrastructure all play a part in signal strength and performance. As with any wireless network product, your mileage may vary.Overall, the WG511 is solid wireless G PCMCIA card. It's broad antenna and easy-to-install software/driver package ensure good performance when paired with a Netgear wireless G router. At a price comparable to some 802.11b solutions, the Netgear is a very good choice for the home user looking for a new wireless G or add-on to their existing wireless G network.Recommended

Installation is straightforward, as it usually is with Netgear products. After a bit of fiddling (namely disabling the 'g' mode), which really should not have been necessary, given that it was talking with another Netgear product (the MR814 router), connectivity and throughput seemed solid. Unfortunately, my system would freeze (such that only a hard reset would revive it) any time I tried to play an AVI or MP3 file. I'm not sure what bizzare interaction is causing this, but it is a known and well documented issue (just Google "wg311 freeze") with these boards. Netgear support was useless, and they seem unwilling or unable to resolve the problem. My recommendation: stay away! And a lesson for me: do more research before making purchases...
