Due to the nature of my work, I have used several types of these 54Mbps wireless cards. The only 2 Wireless Homenetworking I recommend to others is either D-Link or Netgear.I personally am using a 54Mbps wireless WG111 USB adaptor on my PC plus 2 others in the house.In addition I use the Neatgear 54Mbps Wireless Card (WG511) for my older Dell laptop. I have used these adaptors for over a year and have not had to replace them, or have had any problem with their peformance.I have installed hundreds of these for customers. It does come with software for the drivers, AND comes with a NETGEAR PROGRAM that overides windows. I never use the program personally. I just use the CD for the drivers, after insert the adaptor. It also comes with the software updates for vista.I found that as long as you have a Wireless Netgear Modem, it never seems to have any problems with 128bit encryption or 64bit (which is what I mostly use)The biggest reason for any Netgear adaptor 128 or 64 bit is 1st) If you use install and use the NETGEAR PROGRAM, then the best way to avoid internet drop off, is to enter you 64 or 128 bit encryption password on the first page of the progam IN THE MANUAL SLOT and not the 2 slots for above! Trust me I know.2nd) If you plug the adaptor in, and then insert the CD just for the drivers (when prompted) WITHOUT using Netgears program, then you have to set internet options to set LAN and check "automatic" and leave proxy settings alone. Then right click on the little wireless pic in your tray, and select "status" then "properties". From there at the top box scroll down to TCP/IP and click properties and make sure "automatic is checked" The click close and click the middle tab. If there is more than 1 network in your area or in that box, remove them all, except yours. Then make sure to check the box "let windows configure my wireless settings for me" and on the last tab check the box "automatically connect to this network when in range" After that click okay, and close. It may start to try and connect right then, or you can right click on the little wireless computer in tray and select "view wireless networks" and you will see your there, click connect and it will prompt you for you password, twice and thats it. You don't have to type in the password any more. Everytime you turn on your computer, it will automatically detect settings and connect you to your wireless internet network.It sounds like a lot, but it really is simple and will prevent internet drop off tremendously!I setup networks for a living and years ago, I used to pull my hair out sometimes, until I finally found out what works the best, regardless of number of networks, users or 64 and 128 encyrption. If the router is setup correctly and you install Neatgear wireless usb or card, you will be very happy. I have moved and used the same USB and CARD for my laptop with 3 dirrent networks, and all I did was set it up with the new password and it is working as of now.Hope this helps

I followed the instructions which said to load the CD that accompanied the NetGear Wireless adapter. During installation there was an option to use either Netgear or Windows for configuring. I chose Windows.Once I plugged in the Wireless device, it found my wireless network (as well as my neighbors'). So naturally I selected my network and then was prompted to enter my WEP security code which I did.After entering the WEP, I was connected.Easy-breezy.Setup was as easy as I had hoped it would be.

Anyone wanting to connect your Panasonic hdtv to the internet should go with this product. No need to spend an extra $60 for the Panasonic adapter. This works perfectly, and I have been watching Netflix with no issues.

This wireless laptop PC Card works out of the box with Ubuntu 10 Linux. I had to reboot the system a second time after inserting the card for the system to recognize the card and load the proper drivers. The bells and whistles of the Windows software are missing but card performs well for wireless connectivity.

I bought a Netgear WNDR3500L for the wireless N so I could use the faster speed to transfer files to and from a NAS box. I bought this adaptor to make use of the wireless N.The big headache with this one is the software. Downloading the latest firmware from Netgear in May 2010 it simply failed to load on Windows XP 32bit. After hours of frustration, I found a tip on a forum that suggested using a previous version of the firmware, and now it works just fine.I think this adapter is great, simply let down by duff software. I'm upgrading to Windows 7 in the next few weeks, and from what I've read, I have my doubts as to whether this adapter will work. (Update February 2012: unit works just fine with Win 7 driver available from Netgear website)As for speed, I was getting about 58Mbps, rather disappointing, but when I switched from a CRT to a flat panel monitor, I'm now getting a consistent 117Mbps (30 feet from router, through two walls).If you have a bit of tech savvy, give it a go, otherwise look elsewhere.

Compared to the cost of other similar products out there this one takes the cake. Since it's also compatible with my Panasonic Viera TV, it was really the best choice for me. A must buy!

I'm not a Geek and dont want to spend alot of timetrying to get a $20 card to work with the NetgearDGN2000 wireless router, so I'm throwing this inthe garbage.The installation went well and it worked when Ihad the router right next to it. When I moved therouter about 40 feet away (and 2 walls) it wouldnt work.It shows green (connected) red (disconnected) every10 secs. and I cannot access the internet.I have 2 other wireless adapters and they both workin that configuration. One is a realtek usb withthe antenna. It will connect 150 feet from the router You can find it here:http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-802-11G-Adapter-Antenna-Realtek/dp/B001Q4G3YQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285787416&sr=8-4The 2nd is a Dlink airplus exteme G.It connected well when the Netgear would not,but died on me, though it was a reman fromEbay at $10.

I just upgraded to HD Satelite recievers from Dish Network. I have one in the basement, 2 floors down from my wireless area network DSL router. Dish was sold out at thier web-site of the Netgear unit they specify, so I gave this one a try. Plugged it in, entered my WEP code and instantly connected. Now I can download movies and TV shows to my DVR from the internet. Works great.

I'm completely happy with this refurbished product. The price I paid was excellent and the seller delivered it promptly. The only set back was the installation. It took me some time to install it on my Windows 7 desktop. After much surfing, I found a site which explained the installation and driver to use.

I'm using this card to add WiFi capability to an old Gateway Solo laptop. I previously tried a similar Trendnet card from CompUSA/Tigerdirect several times but they all kept crashing the machine. This unit installed like a charm with the supplied CD and has been working without incident since the end of October 2010. I'm using it with XP Wireless Zero configuration and not the supplied utility. I've used several Netgear wireless products, and I have never had problems with them. Good product.

This item has longer range and better reception than other N wireless devices. It was easy to install. The other device every day would show only 3 differant wireless devices and only see 2 of mine. With this one I pick up 15 differant wireless signals and see all 5 computers. I have internet in my workshed to download differnat woodworking plans.

After messing around for hours looking for the latest drivers to install an old wireless card on a Windows 7 system. Plug it in, let Windows find it, install it, and let you do something productive. Works with XP, XP64, Vista, and Win 7.I'm not using it on a laptop or fidgeting with taking it out and plugging it in. I'm buying another one for a second system.

I had no problem at all installing this device. I like the fact it has a small docking station with a USB cable that allows it to sit on top of my PC where I can see it and has better direct lines of sight with the router, plus I can see the activity light. I have no complaints about the software. I used the WPS feature (aka Push-N-Connect) to connect to a WPS-enabled router. A great feature - everything done for you. I also used the manual setup to connect to an outside network, and it seems pretty straightforward to me. Way better and way easier than my old wireless b/g device.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Needed this to go with my Netgear wireless N dual band router. One of my desktops does not have an built in wireless, so I needed this. This works perfectly, extremely fast, super easy installation, fast setup. Currently I don't have any cons for this. Also, for Amazons part, I chose free shipping, the one that takes long time, but I got mine the 3rd day! it arrived like 4 days earlier. just amazed by the adapter and amazon.

This the one to use with Dish Network wifi capable receivers. Plug it in to a USB port, find your wifi network and you're done. The one I use is Version 2.

I just bought this with the WNDR 3700 router from Netgear and it is as though they are made for each other. No dropped connections, exceptional speed. I sit on the 2nd floor and my router is on the first floor about 100 ft away in a straight line and I can still use the full N speeds. Again this is the new adapter - the one with the light on the top. Make sure you are buying this one, the earlier one has a lot of negative reviews.On ease of installation (Windows XP), I just plugged in the CD, followed the steps and it worked on the first try. IMPORTANT - The product ships with a male-female USB cable. If you dont want to connect the adapter to your laptop directly and move around a lot, i.e. if you are worried about bumping the adapter and breaking something, use the cable. I started using it and find it invaluable.Buy this adapter only if you are purchasing the WNDR3700 or equivalent / better from Netgear or others. If you are not getting a dual band router, you can spend less by purchasing a single band adapter.

I purchased this adapter based on tracing out reviews for the recommended Panasonic adapter for my new Panasonic G series 50" plasma. It was more than $20 less than the "P" version plus smaller. It was a good buy. I just plugged it in & it worked great.

The card was easy to install and seemed to work great, but it only worked about 3 months. After that it conked out, and when we called Netgear for support they said it was a refursbished card and they couldn't help me. So I was impressed while it worked, but the reliability leaves something to be desired.

When I received this product and my son went to install it, it turned out, unfortunately, to be defective. This happens occasionally to every company, online or not. I was devastated because I needed it badly for my job. But the wonderful part is the rapid response of the company! I am very grateful to them. This is a company of integrity. I would use them again.
