I have gotten quite a bit of experience with this card, so might share some information with others about the quality of this product. The Netgear WG311T is the 108 Mbps version of the PCI based wireless adapter for PC's. Note that there is also a 108Mbps USB 2.0 adapter (WG111T) version as well as a 108 Mbps PC Card (WG511T) version for notebooks. The USB 2.0 one seems quite nice, but this WG311T comes with an attenna that you can turn and point in the direction of the wireless router. Note that there has been multiple revisions of this product since introduction. This review is for the V12H019 REV:1 version (printed on the card). I have heard that previous versions (V12H009.0 REV 4 and before) had major problems with freezes and hiccups with VIA chipsets and XP SP2, but the current version I have seems fine (my computer has the VIA chipsets and SP2 of XP). All new cards should have this new version now unless you are buying a used one from someone. Be sure to visit Netgear's website and download the latest drivers for this card (3.0.1.6 as of this writing).The card supports better WPA security with the new drivers and comes with its own utility to connect with the wi-fi routers/access points. I have heard that it works with Microsoft's wireless utility as well as atheros drivers (the card uses their chip). Note that a lot of experts that have tested 108Mbps thoroughput have found that no 108Mps cards by any manufacturer achieve that rate and is usually half that speed. The 108Mbps advertisement comes from using two channels of 54Mpbs in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum instead of one.The card does its job and am able to connect fine with the Netgear WGT634U. In the beginning the signal strength was at full, but after a week or 2 of using it, the signal is one notch lower (96Mbps), but I suspect that is related to the WGT634U router (see my review of that one as well).This is one of those products that requires getting new and updated software so it will work well, so be prepared check for new drivers and install them instead of the ones that come with the card. As long as you have the newer revision of the card and the latest drivers, you should be fine. The Netgear software leaves an icon in the tray that you can open up and check and modify settings of card (like WPA-PSK password).If you are going fully wireless, consider getting bluetooth keyboard/mouse from Microsoft or Logitech, WiJet.Video (wifi video to your monitor), Netgear PS121 (wifi printing), and bluetooth mic, headphones and audio transmitters to your speakers.The major competing brand for this product is the D-Link DWL-G520.

I put this card in my wife's Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop. It replaced a NetGear 802.11b card. Worked great! Then the Blue Screens of Death started. I have tried different combos of using Window's XP to control the card (against recommendations but is more stable) and using different versions of the software for both the card and NetGear's controlling software to no avail. I am now down to the last attempt, using Window's updated software for the card with Windows controlling the card. We'll see.Pros- Incredible range. Shows 2 more networks in my neighborhood then my Centrino notebook. Super fast page loading.Cons- Crashes the computer. It causes memory dumps that corrupts running programs. The NetGear newsgroups show that it is a known problem with their cards and customer service doesn't have a fix. Do the research yourself. One thing that MAY be the reason for the crashes is that some were using an XP upgrade from ME, which this laptop also has.But try it for yourself. It is a great card when its not crashing the system. There are so many different configuations it may work. If not, return it. Good Luck!

i am running suse 9.3 on an older sony desktop that has a pcmcia slot. i was using an older 802.11b card but wanted to upgrade to WPA-PSK so started looking for a G card that would work with suse. searching the internet i found that cards with the atheros chipset are supported without use of third party "wrappers" and windows drivers. i inserted the card and went to YaST configuration and the card was recognized! i turned MAC address filtering and encryption off in my router. this eliminates 2 variables and makes getting set up easier. after i made sure i was connecting to the internet i turned MAC filtering and encryption on. so far no problems. the card gets great reception. my router is an smc barricade G. i have a motorola usb wireless access point hooked to an old hp desktop and my mac mini using airport extreme wireless. all work great together.

I have been using this adapter for some time now with no problems. First of all, I should mention that my adapter is fully compatible with my copy of Windows XP Pro with SP2. I encountered no problems with the installation of the card. As soon as I installed it, I installed the drivers from the Resource CD, played around with the settings of the connection using NetGear's utility and there you go.. everything worked fine! A wireless router that my neighbour is housing downstairs connects four (or five, I'm not sure) computers in the same building including mine. The adapter immediately detected 2 access points (my neighbour's house, downstairs) and I connected to the one with the strongest signal. No trouble with this piece of equipment. I suspect that a few disappointed customers who wrote previous reviews got their hands on a "faulty" card. It happens.. Another thing.. I am not sure about the reliablility of the adapters previously released as v1 and v2, but mine is WG311 v3.

I would have given it 0 stars if possible because not only were the cards hard to get working, but Netgear support proved to be useless.Brought two cards. One for an XP system, one for a 2000 system. Followed instructions, and neither installed. On the XP system, after trying all the usual fixes (reinstalling software, switching PCI slots, etc), the card finally worked after downloading the driver via Microsoft's "Windows Update" page (via built-in ethernet). On the 2000 system, I ended up calling Netgear support (sounded outsourced), and they informed me that this card is NOT supported in Athlon systems. End of story. Sure enough, says right on the box that a "Pentium-III Class PC" is a requirement. All of us Pentium-4 and Athlon owners are out of luck.I suggest you look elsewhere (particularly if you like decent support). I'm now VERY happy with Motorola products (they managed to solve one issue I had without asking what processor I was using)

I bought this card and the matching netgear router at the same time. I had throughput problem which was resolved after searching internet. However, the connection keeps dropping randomly, no matter what I did.I exchanged a few emails with their support. No help there, then they asked me to call so that we could try a few things together.I called this evening. After long wait and answering questions like serial number/model number/etc., I was really amazed in the end that the clueless netgear representative told me the solution was to go back to store and return the product.It seems that they don't give a damn to their customer or their buggy product.To make things worse, the barely English speaking representative didn't want to find me a technition who knows a bit more than registering the product, he didn't want to tell me his name, and he didn't connect me to his supervisor either. I have to say that I've never ever had this kind of bad customer service call with any company.Netgear set the new low record, congratulations!

Update: mid November 2004:This was originally a 1-star review. Netgear issued updates for this card allowed work fine Windows Home SP2, which I confirmed during the build of a new machine two months after the original review.My rant in September 2004 was valid then based on the state of their support for XP SP2.________________________________Original early September review:Once installed and working: 4 stars. The single star is for the overall experience in Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 environment. This eventually required a rollback from SP2 *and* an operating system reinstall. This might not be worth it for most people seeking just a little faster data throughput...If your are considering purchasing this --or **any other wireless network adapter**-- check carefully for compatability with Windows XP Home SP2. After over 4 hours of my own troubleshooting, and another hour on hold to speak with Netgear tech support, I learned that the only issue was that this device was having major compatability issues with SP2 (which we deployed last month on 4 computers in our network with no negative effects..until now). At this point you pretty much have the choice of returning to your previous (or non-existent) networking environment or uninstalling SP2. WARNING: Do not choose the SP2 uninstall. I went from a midly annoying networking hardware issue to a full blown operating system meltdown. In the case of Netgear, the SP2 compatibility issue was not discussed on their web site (and certainly not in the included literature): I had to get this important information from the support rep. only after registering the product for the 90 day support period. If you are putting any wireless adapter into an XP SP2 system, it is time well spent to check with their tech support BEFORE install. The hold time may be time consuming, but it will be less so than Windows reinstallation (or a hard drive reformat!). Naturally, since my Netgear issue has morphed into a Windows issue, there's no more help coming from Netgear on this. I've had generally good experiences with Netgear products (a new router and laptop PCMCIA card installed flawlessly and were up and running in minutes), but this combined MS-Netgear SNAFU is a disaster of major proportions. Your experience may vary...but it would take very little for it to be better than mine! Good luck, and caveat emptor!Update: Rollback from XP SP2 plus a reinstall of the operating system plus another 45 minutes on the phone with tech support and we did succeed in getting it running. Enjoying the higher throughput, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

Unfortunately this wireless adapter preformed well below any acceptable standards for it to be even considered as an option if you are using a computer with an AMD chipset. I read on one of these reviews that there is a compatibility problem between the two and from my experience, I believe that to be a true statement. I asked Netgear support if there was a compatibility problem between the two and they totally ignored my question, although they did tell me to return the product for a exchange.I never had consistent service and anytime I put any load on the internet it would freeze and make me have to re-start the computer just to get it back on line.The only reason it gets 2 stars is because it was really easy to install and the software was easy to use and understand. But, what it comes down to is if the product worked or not, and in my case it didn't even after I worked so hard to fix the problem. (downloading new drivers, troubleshooting, working with Netgear support, reinstaling multiple times)In the end the fix was simple.. I bought a linksys wireless adapter and the internet is smoking now!

I replaced wireless B external adapters with this installed wireless G adapter. The external adapters allowed me to put the antenna way up in the air on top of furniture the computer sits in to get the best connection. I was concerned because installing the netgear equipment meant that I was not going to be able to have the antenna sit up high, and since my computers and router are 1 floor apart and the complete opposite side of the house, I was concered I would not get a clean connection... BOY WAS I WRONG. The Netgear adapter offers higher speeds and gets much better signal than the external B wireless antennas I was using, even though the Netgear antenna is low to the ground behind the computer. I noticed the difference in the speed of my connection immediately. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great wireless G connection.

I bought a Netgear WG311T wireless card to replace one from another manufacturer that had failed. First, I coudln't get a connection to the router. Two conversations with tech support in India produced the information that I had to download a new driver for Windows XP-SP2 from the internet. I installed the new driver, which allowed me to connect to the router, but not reliably to the internet. A third attempt with tech support produced the suggestion that I change my web browser (I'm using IE!) Instead, I bought a Linksys card, which worked straight out of the box. Don't buy this product! If you're not convinced, go to the Netgear user forum and read the horror stories there.

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.

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).
